Tangled
Ashes is about a man with a troubled past who is sent to France
to oversee a castle renovation project. He meets a woman with her own
set of problems which brings him to examine his own chosen lifestyle.
The history of the castle pushes its way into the forefront through
some shadowy activity that takes place during the renovation.
The drama unfolds slowly through the
telling of the story. It's actually a couple of stories intertwined
in the tale of the renovation of the castle. The idea of a romance
between the two leading characters seemingly lies beneath the
surface.
I'm a history nut. I like the fact that
this novel is built around a real place and true history is woven
into the story. I would like to have seen more architectural detail
given of the castle. I like the way the history is brought into the
story. The history draws you deeper into the novel as it provides the
suspense. All through the book I was kept wondering at how the
history applies to the overall story. Kudos to the author for keeping
it a question right to the end.
I don't normally read much fiction. The
history and the real location of this story is what caught my
attention. All in all this was a good diversion from my normal
reading activity. The ending wasn't what I expected but it is good.
Tangled
Ashes by Michelle Phoenix is a good read, four out of five stars.
