No Ships Pass by Eleanor Smith
A shipwrecked passenger makes his way to an island. To his shock, there are others there. But as he talks to them, he realizes their stories don’t jive. And what they tell him seems impossible. Desperately wanting to escape the island, he forms a plan. This is a tale of never-ending horror, but it’s not until the very end that the reader will realize just how horrific it really is. Well worth reading, if you dare.
A great old fashioned story that is character driven and written in literary style of the 40s. Alternating between London and Spain this is a charming tale of the old nomadic gypsies living in caravans, their culture, their passions, and of a romance between a man and a woman destined to be apart by fate's chances. I liked it so much I just found a few of the author's other books that were affordable. Lady Eleanor Smith's books are rare and a few titles very pricey due to scarcity. Three and a half stars,… (more)
