When I was 15/16 years old and visited a second-hand market with my parents, I found a stack of novels by Barbara Cartland with a seller. These pocket booklets were from a series which were published in the Dutch language in the seventies.
For a long time I read the romantic books from the hugely popular Bouquet series which are still published by Harlequin.
But this was the first time I ever received a book from the genre of the Historical Roman!
And between the pile of Barbara Cartland books was this title and I decided to read it first!
And since then I have collected almost all parts of this series, which have been published in the Dutch language. But also a large number of English language titles / versions!
And now 25 years later I read, one after the other title of my favorite writer of all time, via Bookmate on my phone! ! !
another well written book from barbara cartland. Lots of info on Italy, and also on ideas and thoughts. Not just a simple story.
