Tears of Pearl

Tears of Pearl (2009) Tasha Alexander

Set in Europe in 1892

There are many problematic things with this story. I liked the historical bits, but the way Lady Emily was let into the Harem etc just seemed a bit far fetched, and I also had difficulty believing Emily actions regarding the harem.

Yes, she rebels to some extent to the constricts of society, but she is still a woman of her time, and her thoughts and actions just seemed too modern.

I was also not overly thrilled with the mystery. It wasn’t bad, but it too was a little far-fetched.
Rating: 6/10
