Glyn literally invented many of the romantic conventions we see in books today. Her sense of humor and sharp critical eye enliven what might otherwise be rather standard love stories.But here, most of what is truly extraordinary about Glyn has been edited out. The resut is a standard, cut-to-the-chase love story that could have been written by almost anyone. If you are interested in writing your own romance novel, this might be interesting as a study in how to move the plot along, but personally, I read in order to read good writing.And, incidentally, the work in question was not listed as being a sharply edited version. So be careful -- one can only conclude that the reader is supposed to know magically that the Barbara Cartland reissues have been chopped to pieces.

Kennedy This romance is set in pre-revolutionary Russia, and does a nice job of creating the backdrop for the lives of the nobility here. However, the main characters alternate between somewhat annoying, and somewhat overbearing and self-absorbed. The story itself tries hard, but the characterization drags it into mediocrity.

I really enjoyed the first half of it when Tamara meets Gritzko at the Sphinx and then later again in Russia. Gritzko is an exotic--possibly psychotic--character and it was entertaining to watch them become better acquainted and, of course, fall for each other. Toward the latter part of the book, though, I thought the story got a little too turned in on itself to be entertaining. We know where their relationship is headed, of course, but the author tried to sustain the suspense of it for longer than the conflict between them could carry. After a while, the hero's behavior especially just seemed ridiculous, and entirely contrived to stretch out the plot. Still an entertaining read, though, and I look forward to exploring more of Elinor Glyn's titles on Kindle.
