Wraps Up All The Loose Ends

Those readers familiar with Patricia Veryan's excellent, underrated Sanguinet series will probably have wondered what exactly happened to many of the characters after what appeared to be the finale, "Sanguinet's Crown." In this book, Veryan answers those questions. The story focuses mainly upon the relationship between Josie Storm and her guardian, Alain Devinish. When last we saw them in "Sanguinet's Crown," Josie was a little foundling whose age could have been anywhere between eight and twelve. This book occurs seven years later. Josie is a young lady now whose charming personality captivates almost everyone she meets. She wishes some of that charm would work on her guardian, but unfortunately he shows no sign of returning her very grown-up kind of love, instead treating her as a child. Is Dev still pining over his lost love, Yolande, who married his cousin? Will Josie be able to elude the determined pursuit of her many beaux? Will the youngest Sanguinet brother, Guy, ever be granted an entre into Polite Society?This book is, as is the case with all Veryans, extremely well written with impeccable characterization. The story is engrossing but does not deal with as heavy subject matter as the previous books in the series. It's a great read, but I recommend reading the other books first to get the history behind the relationships; otherwise you'll be missing out on the full experience!
