Jude Deveraux: Days of gold

Jude Deveraux kertoo Edilean-romaanisarjan toisessa osassa vuodesta 1766 Skotlannissa, tapahtumista jotka johtivat päähenkilöiden maastapakoon ja muuttoon Amerikkaan: Days of gold (Simon & Schuster, 2010; ISBN 978-1-84737-552-0).



Deveraux osaa tarinankuljetuksen, ja vaikka monessa kohtaa tarinaa mennään sieltä missä aita on matalin, on juonessa sen verran koukuttavuutta että kirja tuli luettua sen kummemmin hyppimättä. Bestseller-tilastoissa pärjääminen ei suuremmin ihmetytä.

Angus McTern is respected by the men of his clan and adored by the women. He takes his duties as laird seriously and has everything he wants in life - until Edilean Talbot shows up.

Breathtakingly beautiful and born of privilege, Edilean needs Angus's help to reclaim the gold she inherited from her father. The treasure is bound for America, but when Angus tries to seize it, he's accused of kidnapping and theft and has to escape with Edilean to the new country. There they discover almost insurmountable obstacles, and a love as wild and free as the land itself.

The second title in the multi-generational Edilean series that began with the contemporary novel Lavender Morning, Days of Gold is filled with humor, passion, exquisite detail, and pulse-pounding adventure. Stirring and masterfully rendered, it's the kind of epic story that so many novelists aspire to write, but only Jude Deveraux can create so well.
