Set in 1840s India, this tale of star-crossed lovers packs a powerful punch. When Olivia, a forthright young American, comes to live with her very proper British relatives, she falls headlong into love with angry, half-caste Jai. Olivia believes nothing will ever diminish her love for Jai, but can it withstand the terrible revenge he is planning to take on the people who betrayed him? Ryman has done a good job of portraying the closed, rigidly stratified colonial society; against this background her vibrant, passionate main characters compel attention. Occasional lapses into overheated prose are disconcerting but don't impede the story's flow. Suspense, exotic locales, and strong-willed lovers make this novel a treat for romance readers.

Uma releitura de "O Morro dos ventos uivantes"

Se existiu um Heathcliff&Catherine na Inglaterra,esse livro nos leva para a Índia colonial,com Jai e Olivia como um amor tão intenso,rancoroso,dolorido,quantos dos famoso casal escrito por Bronte.Mas desnecessariamente longo.
