Very Sensual Book!

Yeah, It's Not Skye O'Malley, but this was the first book I have ever read by Bertrice Small. It lead me to the Skye O'Malley series, and I have been reading her books ever since. I agree that it has excellent passion in it. I was very interested in the time period, mainly because I knew so little about it. I just love her books! Good book to read while the husband is deployed! :)

This is a wonderfully warm book. I couldn't put it down. The ending was a little sad, but also every uplifting. I definitly recommend this book to anyone wanting a book about the power of the human spirit to survive.

Bertrice Small introduces us to Cailin, a young woman living in Roman Britain. This was such a fascinating time period. Mrs. Small gives us a incredible painting of the history and culture of this intriguing world. Cailin finds love with Wulf, is torn away from him and finds love again with a Byzantine general. I enjoyed Cailin and rank her up there with Skye, Janet, Cat Leslie, and Zenobia. She is strong, determined, and deals logically with fate as it is dealt her. I enjoyed her and I enjoyed this story. One of my favorites.
Rich with History; a very enjoyable read

Excellent story about a woman living in Roman Britain as Rome is crumbling. Bertrice Small has a phenomenal way of picking her readers up and transporting them to another place and time. I don't just read Bertice Small novels. I become enmeshed in them. Mrs. Small shows us thru Cailin that lives can change in the blink of an eye. Cailin loses her family and lands because of someone else's greed. She is forced to flee and find shelter with her estranged grandfather. She soon discovers that the world in an unfair place and life is diificult, especially for women. Women of that time (and too often today) must give themselves over sexually in order to survive. Cailin does that and is able to find love in the process and eventually make her way back home.
