Product Description

Synopsis
Rosina, a young gypsy girl, has been wandering over the countryside with her brothers, eventually ending up in the New Forest where she attracts the attention of Squire Denny. The squire takes her home with him, initially into service in his household. But what neither of them realise is that their lives are going to be changed forever . This is a compelling read that takes the reader back to a bygone age which, however, is resuscitated with convincing dramatic tension-from the intrigue and shady dealings of a country estate to the theatrical, sophisticated yet sometimes bawdy life of London.

4.0 out of 5 stars `A ROSE AND A STAR'--A GRIPPING ROMANCE, 11 Nov 2008
By Charles Muller (The Scottish Highlands, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I think that Gloria West has a very imaginative and sometimes overactive mind.

However, the excessive number of named characters throughout the novel were to my mind confusing at times.

I must admit that the chapters being short in length were a benefit.

To sum it up at the end I feel that this novel is really more a man's type of book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Two novels for the price of one can't be bad!, 6 Sep 2008
This is a lively story following the adventures of gypsy Rose and her daughter Star along with a host of characters varying from the good to the downright evil during the 1700s.
