![]() ![]() ![]() He keeps them in penury and watches their every move, but Selene has turned a flair for creating handmade soaps and candles into a potential business opportunity. Selene and her mother are virtual prisoners in a house that doubles as a fortress, victims of a man who insists on complete control over their lives in order to present to the world the picture of a perfect, virtuous family. When we meet Selene, she is scheming a way to leave her isolated Greek island home and travel to Athens without her father finding out. Selene isn’t badly off financially or an orphan, but her circumstances are pretty dire. I’ve always enjoyed your disadvantaged, yet plucky and intelligent, heroines, and in Selene Antaxos you’ve created a character that ranks for me with the heroines of Doukakis’ Apprentice, Twelve Nights of Christmas, The Prince’s Waitress Wife, and Sale or Return Bride. You’ve taken a number of standard fairy-tale and romance ingredients and turned them into something fresh and original in this book. ![]()
