5.0 out of 5 stars Great!, 17 Mar 2004
By A Customer
This is my favourite book by Santa Montefiore. The storyline is very good with enough twists, love, loss, laugh and tears to keep you going until the end. The characters are very well defined. It is a typical Santa Montefiore with the rich family / Argentina / England setting, but you won't be disappointed. I highly recommend it to anyone.

5.0 out of 5 stars Compelling... full of the right ingredients., 15 April 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Meet Me Under the Ombu Tree (Hardcover)
Compelling... full of the right ingredients - passion, family saga, secrets, lies, manipulation, forbiddon love, friendship, jealousy, betrayal, countries and different lifestlyes, customs and characters having to adapt to them. I was totally fascinated with Sofia's story as the author did not portray her as a perfect porcelain doll - she has faults like everyone, and they make her the passionate person that she is, and that people can't help but love. She is stubborn, impatient, feisty and spoilt - but also witty, loyal, intelligent and warm. The relationship with her mother, the opposite to her, cold and steely, or so it would seem, is deeply moving, as they find out they perhaps have more in common than they really knew.

It also shows love to be complex, there is not always one right or wrong and one solution ... but it never dies.

4.0 out of 5 stars Beautifully written, 26 Feb 2008
By Miss C (London, England) - See all my reviews
This is the first S.M book I've read and I was blown away with the way it was written and the relationships between the characters. It had me on the edge the whole way through as to how it would end. Could they find a way to be together or not....?
