Kittys Reader Notes & Book Excerpt

Kitty's Notes:

In the 1960's the earth moved when people fell in love, and it certainly does in this charming story as we have the hero and heroine trapped on a tropical island together following an earthquake.

Old fashioned romance books are charming and sweet and make a wonderful low stress read to while away a day or so or even on your own 'enchanting holiday'.

A lovely clean book in such mint condition it almost looks like it has been in a time capsule since the 1960s. And isn't the cover just great. I am not actually sure if he is the love interest or 'Agent Smith'.

* The great 1960's period book jacket is by the artist Francis Campbell who designed many of Barbara Cartland and was also a prolific illustrator of 'Vogue' magazines in the Mid-Century era.

Book Excerpt:

"Two air-stewardesses, Diana and Raie, are convalescing in the West Indes after a minor plane accident, when Diana meets Owen, a lonely Englishman who has been jilted by his fianceé and has become bitter towards women. Pitying Owen, Diana scrapes acquaintance with him on the beach

and against his will, he gradually turns to her for the comfort he needs.

When an earthquake occurs and Owen and Diana are marooned in his home for several days, they feel the only way to prevent gossip is to pretend that they are engaged. How this works out, and how the two reach ultimate happiness is told in this enchanting story with a tropical background. "

"Mary Burchell herself has a deep love ... of the world of opera, and she gives us a vivid and accurate picture of its glamour, its pitfalls its rewards and its heartbreaks. "
