Title: A Fascinating Tale
Review: I have to say that I was quite surprised in that this book was a last minute choice of mine from the reduced table at Barnes & Noble. The pithy but elegantly exact language made this story intriguing and enjoyable. No, it's not Austin or Bronte prose, but the ebb and flow of description and dialogue draws one in and before one can really settle in, the story has reached its ultimate climax. With its numerous scriptural references, it is somewhat like a parable. All the ingredients are there: Love, deceit, greed, adultery, repentance, and redemption. The twists and turns of the author gives flavor to events that has the tulip mania of Holland of the 17th century as its backdrop. A good read that has brevity of language but a richness of content, a miniature gem if not delicate flower.
