My first book I'm reading this
summer is Stranger at Wildings, by Madeleine Brent. If you have never read any
Madeleine Brent books - pick up one now! They are SO amazing! They are out of
print and you have to buy them owned. Also, they are hard to find in the US (even
though the ones I have were printed here) - the author is a British male under
the pen name of Madeleine Brent. His real name is Peter O'Donnell. It may
be easier to find them in the UK?? I have no idea.
ISBN: 0385111010
Brent’s books are REALLY inspiring.
While all of her/his books follow the same type of story line (romantic
suspense – always stars a British girl – always includes a mysterious guy),
they each have their own unique fingerprint which makes them all individually
great!
Stranger at Wildings is about a girl,
Chantel, whose past we know nothing about because she doesn’t want to talk
about it. She comes to live and work at the circus as a trapeze artist with the
Galletti family. One day she comes upon a guy named Martin who suffers from
amnesia and knows nothing about his life before she met him. Suddenly, a
tentman is found dead and Chantel’s trapeze bar breaks – which is found to be
cut by a saw. Someone wanted her dead on purpose. But who? Martin? She was friends
with Martin… Also, two new strangers come up to her and take her away to
England! Is this the end of circus life?
That’s all I’m going to say about
this book – but it’s a VERY good read and I recommend it to everyone, but it’s
probably going to be a better read for the female followers! Thanks!
Here is the book cover of Stranger
at Wildings (the one I own):
But I feel that this version of the
cover makes it more fun! (Since it's about a girl in the Circus!):
If anyone knows where the second
cover is from tell me!! =)
