Chrysalis

If you liked Corelli's Mandolin, you'll love this book. Romanus manages to create a heroine that is larger than life. A book that touches on the hardships brought on by a conquering army, on the devastation brought on by civil war, on social taboos and preconceptions. And amidst all these, the heroine, a modern day Antigone, shines through. A spellbinding love story that will leave you mesmerized! Clear your weekend for this one!
