Today I shall be reviewing the book Veil of Pearls by MaryLu Tyndall.
The book is set in 1811 and is about a girl called Adalia who had been kidnapped into slavery. She remained in oppression for many years before she ran away and set sail to Charleston.
Now you may wonder how does a slave girl escape and get on a ship in the the year of 1811 unless it's a slave ship? And if you did wonder that, it's a good floating thought. Well to answer that hmmmmm question, Adalia is one quarter black. Adalia's skin is so light that she is able to pass for a white woman and knowing this she takes her chances in a new place and in a new station in life.
As Adaila lives life from a different prospective she faces many obstacles. She loves and fears at the same time, she struggles with her new life and her relationship with God.
The thing I loved most about the book was Adalia's ever growing relationship with Morgan Rutledge. Their romance kept me engrossed in the book as he pursued Adalia persistently and she kept fighting her growing flame of passion for him.
This book is about love, faith and determination.
Veil of Pearls is one of those books that you read on a rainy day enveloped in your comforter, sipping on a delicious hot drink and munching on your favorite snack. Only this kind of creature comforts can match the juicy contents of this novel....lol
If your a lover of romance novel's then this is right up your street
Recommended for the heart string lovers
