Chargement... My Sweet Follypar Laura Kinsale
   Aucun Actuellement, il n'y a pas de discussions au sujet de ce livre.  s_carr | Feb 25, 2024 |   Poco a poco, el contenido de las misivas se transforma y algunas palabras de amor se infiltran entre sus líneas. Sin embargo, cuando Folie esté por fin libre para dar rienda suelta a sus sentimientos, Robert parece convertirse en otra persona. No solamente no le corresponde, sino que la rechaza francamente. Natt90 | Jan 24, 2023 | Nicholas Boulton performs the audio and I could never read this book I don't think. Although I was curious, it wouldn't have been enough for the WTFery that ensues. He gets an A+++ but the book is only saved from DNF by that and Kinsale's often amazing writing-because as a whole, I just didn't like it. (  ) samnreader | Nov 29, 2021 | Also I don't really get the importance of Folie's temporary amnesia it really didn't seem to matter all that much because the information she shared we (the audience already knew) and Robert didn't give two shits about it. It only seemed to serve as the impetus for them to (view spoiler) which could have been done in any other numerous methods. In short Folie was way too good for Robert and I think the story got lost on itself. It had a ton of potential and I was very interested in it, but all in all it just didn't quite make it to awesome. Also, Roberts an ass. Just had to say it again, get it off my chest. ( ) Fireformed | Sep 11, 2020 | - Spoilers - The plot became big and all kinds of crazy, with international politics and a conspiracy to poison the Prince. All the while Robert is more and more of a jerk, even when he is nice he is awful. The poison made him nuts, but he really seemed like a pathetic bully much of the time. It hurts saying that because My Sweet Folly was my go-to comfort read. I suppose I'll just stick with the first 50 pages. ( ) JSpilman | Apr 16, 2018 | aucune critique | ajouter une critique

An innocent long-distance correspondence leads to complications in this Regency romance by the New York Times-bestselling author of For My Lady's Heart. Married to an elderly man, Folie Hamilton finds her lonely days brightened by light-hearted letters from her husband's cousin, Lt. Robert Cambourne, stationed in Calcutta for the British East India Company. Robert calls her his princess, and she dubs him her knight errant. Unbidden love blossoms, yet upon the death of her husband, Robert's last letter shatters her heart with three words: I am married. Four years later, Robert summons Folie and her stepdaughter to his estate in England. The girl is his ward, so they must go. The man who greets them, however, is nothing like the charming lieutenant of his letters. This Robert is demented. Screaming at ghosts in demonic rage, he is paranoid and frightening. Yet her body longs to caress his perfect features, to hold his tall, angular body, to find the man who once captured her heart . . . Someone is poisoning him, spinning his brain into madness, of that Robert is sure, but who--and why? Haunted by his dead wife, the one thing his tortured mind understands is that he must keep Folie safe. Folie, with her beautiful expressive eyes, the only warmth in his nightmare world . . . Nominated for a RITA award, My Sweet Folly is another unforgettable love story filled with passion and suspense from the author of Flowers From the Storm, whose work has been praised by Julia Quinn as "unfailingly brilliant and beautiful."

My Sweet Folly has one of the best epistolary opening chapters - maybe ever! . . . and then Kinsale swiftly pulls the rug out from under you, after your heart has expanded 3 sizes and you want MORE intimacies only letter-writing can fulfill (I actually liked that the rug was seized from under us promptly, because I dislike when the You've Got Mail con goes on too long - it's just not my preference). The epistolary element doesn't disappear entirely, but the function changes.
I liked this book but when the novel shifts into a gothic tale, it took a while for me to get back into the flow. This is my over-arching Kinsale journey 3 books in: her prose doesn't captivate me for extended periods even though I am aware how beautiful the writing is. I did love Follie, she was such a flirt and I adore how her personality just shines in her letters to Robert and in her interactions with the people around her. Robert's time with The India Trading Company looms heavily over my experience of this book in that it seemed to exist too benignly for me. (
