Abused by her uncle and disowned by her father, 16 year old Rosa is "given" to Henry, a forester, who is traveling from Budapest, Hungary to the Austrian Alpine to work for the Royals, the Habsburgs.... This description may be from another edition of this product.
This book is much more than a love story.It allows the reader to explore the depths of many different kinds of human relationships.It teaches the value of hindsight and of trust while enveloping the reader in richness of its plot. I couldn't turn the pages fast enough wondering what would happen next. Rosa and the Prince is a must read for you and your girlfriends!
A Terrific Book

I couldn't put Rosa and the Prince down. The great use of the language was a treat. It was interesting, racy, and thought-provoking. I learned a lot about history, which I would like to study more. I enjoyed the mountains, trees, flowers, and pet dog along with Rosa. The descriptions made me feel like I was experiencing them too. I cried for Rosa's pain. I admired Rosa. I'm looking forward to the author's next book.
A Good Read

For those who enjoy the genre of romance novels, this is one I can recommend. Although I typically read few romance novels, I found Rosa and the Prince to be a pleasant experience and a worthy escape. The setting, Austria in the 1880's, is intriguing, and the characters truly come to life from the beginning. The book reads quickly and easily without being shallow, and the language at times is very sensual. The plot, though slightly predictable, is well developed. Further, the bits about the Habsburgs were quite interesting. I can comfortably recommend Rosa, and I will pass on my copy to friends when they need a break from reality.
