Ebook description

The Spanish Woman is based on a true 17th century story of a young Spanish noblewoman, Luisa de Coyes Francheros, who was captured by Turkish pirates. She is ruined, and if she returned home would be forced to live in a convent for the rest of her life. In Turkey she befriends the Sultan's mother, and is plunged into an alien world of Court intrigues set against an extraordinary love story.

Review by: Bev Robitai on Feb. 10, 2011 : star star star star
Wow, Evan Andrew really knows his historical background. The story is a little slow to start, but once we get into following the heroine's dramatic adventures it's absolutely rivetting. She shows astonishing presence of mind to cope with the rough treatment she gets when her ship is seized, and to strike up the right relationships with her captors to ensure her survival. Placed in an unthinkeable situation, she triumphs and we get a vivid glimpse into life in 17th century Turkey as a warm and genuine love story unfolds.
