Miss Kate Taylor is an amazing
musician, she plays the piano splendidly; once she left the orphanage
where she grew up, she decided to move to Spindle Cove to teach
music.
She is a really nice person, kind,
cheerful and patient and that's why everyone loves her in the
village, everyone except the ill-tempered and unfriendly Corporal
Samuel Thorne.
Kate, who has no relative left, has
never stopped to look for her parents' identity and one day, during
her research, she decides to meet her orphanage teacher who lives in
the nearby city hoping to collect some information; unfortunately the
old woman treats Kate badly, insulting her and, as if that wasn't
enough she also misses the last carriage of the day to come back to
Spindle Cove.
With little money and no place to go
she starts panicking but unexpectedly is the prompt intervention of
the only person who seems to hate her to rescue her life: Samuel Thorne.
Forced to come back together, with only
one horse and a three hours journey ahead, Kate tries again to
scratch Corporal's crusty appearance; she wants to understand why he
is always so unpleasant to her and his answer is totally
unpredictable (who read A week to be wicked already
knows why...).
However
as soon as they arrive in Spindle Cove, Kate receives a shocking
surprise which will subvert her life completely and Samuel, although
with his usual annoying and bossy behaviour, is determined to protect
Kate.
"Whatever soul I
had, Katie, I think I placed it in your keeping twenty years ago. And
now, it's as if...every time we kiss, you give a little piece of it
back"
Oh
gosh! *.*
I
liked both the protagonists but Thorn at a certain point is a bit
exasperating: he had a troubled childhood and in some respects
humiliating, he isn't a literate person, he reads quite badly and
that's why he thinks he isn't enough for Kate, both socially and
culturally. Anyway he has clearly always been in love with her so he
can't stay away from her but I guarantee he tries very hard!
We
find here the newlywed Colin and Minerva, he's too funny.
A
lovely book, not the best one from Spindle Cove series, but
definitely very good and entertaining!
Buona lettura!
