We get in the heads of the 3 main characters as they agonize over love's problems. Alex, a tortured youth forced into a proposed marriage to Judith, a spinster whom he thinks is only after his money and status which he will have when he becomes 25 and Hetta, a young Boer woman who goes against her culture to fall in love with Alex, a hated englishman. The Boer war is very much a backdrop to this drama. In reading her background elsewhere it seems she is of a military family and I had hoped for more in the battle scenes such as they were...but that was not to be.
It was a not a bad read, but I doubt I will read more of her writing as romance is not my cup of tea,even though the few intense scenes were tastefully done. ( )
