Críticas
"Mystery, intrigue, a great love, passion, and a terrible sorrow all come together to make "The Kashmir Shawl" a very touching and satisfying read." --Barbara Taylor Bradford, bestselling author of "Letter From A Stranger"
"From the idyllic paradise of Bali, to the fast-paced bustle of London and finally to the gritty streets of Uzbekistan, "Constance" maps out a resonating, touching story that most readers are unlikely to forget. Constance is a strong, beautiful character who's been shaped by her mysterious and lonely past, which makes her all the more fascinating as the novel's focal point. This particular saga is rich in both plot and setting, and is an addictive, well-written masterpiece featuring lovely and original characters." --"Romantic Times Book Reviews"
"Thomas writes with a sharp nib, not a dull computer key. She is neither mawkish nor squeamish, but full of fresh images." --"Washington Post Book World"
The pairing of these two women, at opposite life stages, shows how the generations can heal one another while discovering more about themselves...Lovely to read.
