All her life Amanda Hughes has been a Walter Mitty, spending more time in heroic daydreams than the real world.

Her debut novel Beyond the Cliffs of Kerry was published in 2002, and her latest historical adventure The Pride of the King is soon to be released. Amanda is a graduate of the University of Minnesota, and when she isn't off tilting windmills she lives and writes in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Please visit her at http://www.amandahughesauthor.com

5,0 su 5 stelle Extremely entertaining!

What a well written tale of adventure and intrigue! Colorful characters and descriptive scenery are only diminished by poor quality of type. The story, characters, and subject are enthralling! Unfortunately, the quality of proofreading is most lacking. Just read past the typesetting mistakes and I'm sure you will thoroughly enjoy this book! 😊

Hughes is a master storyteller, as I learned when I read her first book, BEYOND THE CLIFFS OF KERRY, which I highly recommended. It's a little like following a guide through a maze. You can't envision the next turn so you are glad she is leading you and you can't stop. The ending is very satisfying, I must say.

This one is set in French New Orleans in 1748, and tells the story of Lauren De Beauville, daughter of French aristocrats who died leaving her and her sister orphans to be raised by nuns. When she is 15, her sister joins the order and Lauren is forced to marry an old man from the English colonies who doesn't speak French. She is rescued from that marriage before it's begun by a hurricane that sweeps her away on her wedding day to another life. Eventually she is forced to leave that other life, too, and ends up in New England, where she joins with con artists who use her as bait to lure aristocrats into business ventures.

There are many twists and turns in this complex story that finally sees Lauren onboard a ship of pirates and misfits who serve a master criminal, their captain, who smuggles guns and other goods, selling them to both the French and the English. Captain James St. Clare wants Lauren to be his contact with the French, but it's a very dangerous assignment and she will have to sell herself to accomplish it. All the while she is watched over by St. Clare, an enigmatic figure, to be sure.

Most of the story is told through the heroine's point of view with the exception of short snippets in the minds of other characters. And there is a huge cast of characters as you can imagine from the different "lives" Lauren experiences. You feel for Lauren as a young innocent with an adventurer's heart who faces one crisis after another and yet always manages to triumph. When the black moment comes--and there is a black moment--it is very real and very believable. I loved Lauren's courage and her determination--and her kindness. She's one hell of a woman. No wonder the hero will not give her up.

I can't say enough good things about this book or about Hughes' writing. Just take my word for it and get it and you'll understand. I don't want to give away the mystery by saying more about the story except that she peels back the layers like an onion--expertly. I have become one of Hughes' committed fans.

I thought this book was truly amazing. I do not normally say this, as generally I think film adaptions never stand up to the books, but I would love to this made into a film. It's plot goes up and down, so you can never kno where the story will lead.

This book is a story of a spirited, hard-working young woman named Lauren, from age 16 to her mid 20's, living in the 18th Century. Lauren was raised in an orphanage, and though the Nuns were kind and provided her an education, she was ordered to marry an older man she didn't know, and from there, her destiny changes. Now Lauren is forced to survive by doing the bidding of those more powerful, none of whom have her best interests at heart. On top of being a very young and innocent 16 year old, Lauren is also powerless with no steady home or family or income and must figure things out for herself. Still, through it all, Lauren, manages to put her all into the tasks at hand, and somehow, is able to sparkle and maintain some of her inherent dignity. Lauren's life was like living in a masquerade because people were not necessarily who they said they were and things were not what they seemed to be. I recommend this book because the author is a richly, gifted writer! It was extremely interesting but didn't always go the way I would've liked. I was glad to have read it but also glad to have finished it, as well.
