This book was about 2 women's lives that paralell each other in present time and in the 1600's. It described something I knew very little about, white slavery and the Pirates of Morocco. The storyline also included some interesting facts about embroidery, as the link between times was a priceless book of patterns from the past. Our bookclub just reviewed it and we all enjoyed it.It was light reading and kept our interest. we all gave it a 4/5.

I was intrigued and held captive by this wonderful book. The plot and character development will keep anyone's interest throughtout this page-turner. It is about a girl who meets her loser lover for dinner so he can ofically dump her. He gives her a book on embroidery that changes her life. It is a story of a women in present time that alternates with a young women in the 16th century. I could not put this book down and grudgingly did just to make dinner....read it through the night and then was sorry when I finished it. A wonderful, unforgetable story...a book so good I kept it and will not give it up.
