I was writing a review when GoodReads crashed for no apparent reason and lost my words. This happens so frequently I am no longer surprised. :(
This was a light, enjoyable read. The best scene, IMHO, was Alinor’s death, during which she is, magically, reunited with her onetime love, James Avery. And then you learn that Avery, though he lives far from Alinor, died himself at nearly the same moment.
Romantic and touching.
My second favorite scene takes place in Barbados, where Johnnie hears that the Queen has birthed a healthy boy. No fool, he drags a poorly selling bolt of cloth from inventory, calls it “Prince of Wales Purple,” and collects a premium price from eager buyers.
Kenny Zenuk, my deceased cousin, had that same mercantile instinct. Born to sell.
Although I will read later volumes in this series (I am expecting more from Gregory, that novel-producing machine), my favorite character, Alinor, is no more. I can see that Gregory is trying to make the unscrupulous, bisexual Livia into her new lead character, but evil is less interesting than Alinor’s steady wisdom.
