July 08, 2009: I have every book this author has written over the years, having been sucked in good and tight through the O'Malley series. This is a classical Small, as she is descriptive in her writing, which I like and other might find tedious. You have to really be a Small Fan to understand and enjoy her books. She always promises with each novel to give you a captivating and intriguing story. And just when I think you know where she is going, she will turn a corner you didn't see coming. The endings are not always everyone living happily ever after, and killing off main characters is not something she has ever shied away from. I love the way she interweaves her fictional characters into the living history, leaving you want so much more when you turn the final page. Small is escapism at its very best, and why I never hesitate to pick up a copy I have not read before. This book did not disappointment me at all. I did not even read the jacket, I saw it was a Small I had not read, picked it up and plunked down the money. I am never ever disappointed when reading her books. Enjoy the characters that come alive in her pages and you feel eventually as if they are your friends and you know everything about them. Ellen and Duncan are in no small way a continuation of this classic and wonderful Author.

I was captivated by my first Beatrice Small book. I went out to find all the books in the series. Then it started to get all too familure, the food essays, the three page sex scenes which always end in someone passing out after screaming out in lusty passion "you're going to kill me"
typically with the love lances and man roots. Need I say more?
If you want to escape reality for a weekend give one book a shot. I don't reccomend rushing out to fill your library. Just know that in every book someone is kidnapped, sold into slavery of some sort,violated by their master and eventually conqured by a steamy sometimes debauched sexual encounter. All the ladies are so irresistably beautiful thay they inspire even respectable men to hunt them down and have their way.
