En la primavera de 1918, Michael, heredero de la poderosa familia Courtney, conoce a Centaine, una chica francesa de noble cuna. Entre ellos nace un amor apasionado que la violencia de la guerra interrumpe abruptamente. Desolada, Centaine decide que el hijo que lleva en sus entrañas ha de nacer en Sudáfrica, la tierra natal de Michael. Costa ardiente es la historia de una mujer valiente y encantadora, que va en busca de lo que los bosquimanos del desierto llaman las aguas buenas de la vida. Possibly weaker than the 3 previous Courtney books, but he is still a born storyteller and a delight to read. Without giving anything away, there are definitely elements of the plotting that are bordering on the preposterous. The limits of plausibility are stretched just a little too much for comfort. But it wasn't as slushily romantic as some claim. Indeed, I was greatly relieved to see our heroine stick to her principles and not give in to her passion to the character who was seemingly set to become to the hero - but wasn't. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
A Courtney series adventure - Book 1 in The Burning Shore sequence "The deck bucked under her feet and she was hurtled backwards on to the bunk again, and the blast of a massive explosion ripped through the ship. 'What is happening?' she screamed. Love in a time of war. Hope in a time of danger. One of the greatest fighter pilots of the Great War, Michael Courtney is saved by the French noblewoman Centaine de Thiry when he crashes near her home. When Michael is killed, Centaine is determined to live out the future they had dreamed of and sets out alone to travel across the ocean to join his family in South Africa. But no journey is ever simple, and a pregnant Centaine finds herself shipwrecked in shark-infested waters off Africa's notorious Skeleton Coast, a deadly swim away from even deadlier land: the sun-bleached desert that will see her defenceless and alone. When hope arrives, she has no way of knowing if she will be saved -- or left in greater danger than ever before... Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

La guerra del resto era tutta un azzardo dove accanto ad ogni rischio c'era la ricompensa, e la posta era la morte oppure la gloria.

Le sue frecce voleranno alle stelle
e quando gli uomini faranno il suo nome
sarà udito così lontano...
