Book Review - Belle Haven - By Jaye Burke - Publication Date: 6 December 2022

 

It all kicked off at that summer home, Belle Haven, when the complacent dull life of the rich and privileged class lass went...BOOM!  Fireworks!  Venice was never the same again!  A whole range and tweaks of emotions and events evoked and evolved from that chance meeting with Etienne.  The book very ingenuiously embraces romance, enduring love, deceit, class disparity, a WWI setting, the Spanish Flu and so much more.  One of those "can't put it down" books of nostalgic proportions.  The author really knows how to spin a story and keep a secret; that is, keep the reader guessing, splashing and sprinkling surprizes and twists along the way when least expected.  Despite some deep sadnesses and heartaches this has been a very satisfying read for me and I absolutely loved the superb ending!  I believe most readers will too.
