Shadowed Love

Rating:
Summary: Shadowed Love is a must for reading pleasure and enjoyment
Review: I have read this book and enjoyed it emmensely,once I started reading it, I could not put it down until it was finished. Martine Jardin portrayed the hatred between the races extremely well. She showed hatred just the way it is,since we still have some of the same hatred here in the United States today. It is a must to read. Perhaps if more people were to read it, they might see how big a fools they are. I just hope that when I get my novel finished it will be as well written as Shadowed Love.

Summary: Shadowed Love is a great read!!
Review: I was pleased to learn something about a country I knew very little about. The author writing comes across very authentic. I could picture the racial problems in South Africa and felt sympathy for Abe and Bonnie and their plight. Karen Stewart.

Rating:
Summary: spellbinding in the extreme
Review: I was unable to put this engrossing book down until I finished reading it. I had to be sure the persecuted lovers ended up being reunited. I also gained more insight about that horrendous evil, apartheid. It is to be hoped that more books by Martine Jardin will be available.

Summary: Powerful story!
Review: I'm a guy and never read romance. While waiting for my girlfriend to do her make-up I glanced through Shadowed Love and then started reading. I took it home and read it to the end. Taught me something about another country I knew virtually nothing about. Book should be classified as mainstream. I'll recommend it to anyone even guys. B. Brunhaber

Summary: Love triumphs over adversity.
Review: Ms Jardin's book is a powerful and often disturbing portrayal of racial discrimination, where the forbidden love of a young man and woman triumphs over bigotry. It is a romance, but a romance with a difference. There are 'uncomfortable' scenes in this book, but nevertheless they are integral to the plot and only highlight the courage and determination of the two lead characters in their quest for love and a life together free of the social restraints placed upon them. This book deserves a wide audience. I think it would make an exceptional film.

Summary: This book is proof that a true wordsmith, is at work
Review: Not normally a romance reader as such, I was pleasantly surprised at the depth of feeling this book ellicited.I was shocked at the barbarism and cruelty of life under apartheid. Ms Jardin has brought the characters and their situation to life.Their triumph over adversity and pure unjust, racial hatred,was a welcome conclusion to an inspirational novel.Does not deserve to be labelled as a romance, more perhaps, as a chronicle of a time and societal attitude, we can all hope is never repeated. Well done Ms Jardin!!! Eagerly look forward to your next book.
