Query: Captivating

I picked up the book because it was written by Jude Devereaux and I was looking for a few hours of romance. When I put the book down, I found I was stunned instead. As others have said, this is not about romance; but, it is about love. Told in the first person, the story is NOT a formulaic story. No typical heroes or heroines here. The book is a journey into the heart and mind...it's like one of the Pulitzer novels that were spoofed by Jackie in the early dinner party setting. The book tugs at you....you'll find yourself fascinated, teary, happy, and thoughtful. A great read.
