Review # 1 was written on 2018-06-11 00:00:00 Heidi Piette [ Lilli got back together with Jacques after he raped her. She insists that she would never get back with him after that but soon enough she is willing to give up everything to be with him again when she thinks he died on the titanic and then remarries him. Now, there could be an argument here about control the abusers have over their victims, but I don�t think that was the case here, especially with the decade this book was written in. Instead, I think it was a plot development and it just didn�t sit right with me as Lilli is a completely different person when it comes to her work and family life. (hide spoiler)]

Review # 2 was written on 2013-09-27 00:00:00 Bernard Greenwood One of my to this day favorite books. It's an old one. My family owns a country house and we have a huge bookshelf of books and half of 'em are falling apart. I don't know why I picked this book to randomly read but I did. I COULD NOT PUT IT DOWN. I almost missed meals for it. I know it's not everyone's cup of tea and the start is kinda slow but once you get invested you can't put it down. It's been about a year and some change since I read it again but it has a female protagonist and she's a BAMF. More than that it treats feminine care about image in a very realistic way. She builds a cosmetic empire but the way she internally treats it is beautiful and the BS she had to go through with the not so pleasant expression of the male gender is awesome. I'd give a better review if I'd JUST read it but this book sticks in my mind as one of my favorites. I was so sad when I got to the end of it simply because it ended. If you have the patience to read flowery language, please give it a fair try.
