Big league dreams Book

So, despite some of the disagreeable materialistic characters, despite the glorious -albeit unrealistic- beauty of the heroine, despite the annoying French sentences spoken by Esclarmonde de Chartres, and despite the convenient death, I loved this love story. ❤

It wasn't a very long read, it was sweet and romantic, it was very passionate without being crude; it was just beautiful. I liked all the people the authoress wanted her readers to like, and I disliked all the people that she wanted her readers to dislike. Most of all, I loved "Crow". I think he's a real treasure, and it must be nice to have a friend like him. I also loved the way the authoress wove the title into the story, giving it meaning and significance.

"... she wondered what Love was. It took a mighty hold upon her imagination. It seemed to her it must mean Life. " These are exactly my sentiments. I think Love means Life, and without Love, Life can be very hard and sad and empty.

I found this very funny:
"Theodora knew at once he belonged to the tribe whom Sarah had told her could never be husbands." Because sometimes I feel like that, that all the beautiful ones are taken or unavailable.

I believe that souls can be connected from ages ago, from even before we were born:
" 'No'do you not feel that sometimes in life one's friendships begin by antipathy'sometimes by indifference'and sometimes by that sudden magnetism of sympathy as if in some former life we had been very near and dear, and were only picking up the threads again, and to such two souls there is no feeling that they are strangers.' "

This speaks for itself:
" But when they reached the automobile and he bent over to tuck the rug in'and she felt the touch of his hands and perceived the scent of him'the subtle scent, not a perfume hardly, of his coat, or his hair, a wild rush of that passionate disturbance came over her again, making her heart beat and her eyes dilate.
And Hector saw and understood, and bit his lips, and clenched his hands together under the rug, because so great was his own emotion that he feared what he should say or do."

I love that this book shows that there is hope, that true love exists, that dreams can come true, and that the patient ones are rewarded in the end. 😍
