It is about a girl that when she born, her father left the house where his wife and him used to live. They used to go to a lot of parties...but the man of the house, didn't want to became a father, he was too young.
The interesting part of the story starts when the mother of this girl become crazy, so she went to live with her kind ount to an other town.
There the girl met two girls that will be her friends...they have different personalitis; one is shy and kind, the other one never stop toking : ) and she is not very kind..but she is a good person.
In this town the girl met new people...some of them not very kind and others are a little bit crazy so she have to face some problems.
I recommended you this book called "Las siete hurracas". Belibe me, the tittle of this book perfect for it. So, read it that you will not regrated. It an amazing book!!.

Victoria Holt was one of my favorite authors when I was younger. A master storyteller, she would consistently weave a story that would have the reader turning the pages. This work of historical fiction is one of her best. Riveting from beginning to end, this fictional autobiographical account of the life of Marie Antoinette is superb. Written in the first person, with little dialogue, it is the rumination of a life that was to end tragically. Pampered, spoiled, and fun loving, the beautiful Maria Antonia of Austria metamorphosed into Marie Antoinette of France upon her marriage to the Dauphin, who would eventually become King of France, the ineffectual, but benign, Louis XVI.

This is her story, grounded in historical fact and set within the framework of history. This work of fiction about the life of Marie Antoinette, as seen through her own eyes, is fascinating, as it captures the flavor of those uncertain times and the events that led to the French Revolution and the end of the monarchy in France. It is a reflection on how Marie Antoinette's own behavior influenced the fate of France. Indulging in the excesses of the day, she initially gave little thought as to how her actions might affect the people of France or the monarchy. By the time she realized that her actions and excesses had wide-spread political ramifications, it was too late, and her fate, as well as that of her husband, was sealed. No amount of personal regret could change it.

This book will be enjoyed by those who enjoy well-written historical fiction. It is little wonder that this book spent two months on the New York Times Best Seller List. It is simply historical fiction at its best.

I have read all of Victoria Holt's books and this is one of my favorites. It is the story of a young woman's first and only love.Over many years and 2 countries this beautiful story unfolds as you discover the secret of the night of the 7th moon and it's consequences. The wonderful twists and turns of the plot are a fabulous surprise!I could hardly put it down. A MUST read for any Victoria Holt fan! Highly reccomended!

This is the first book that I read written by Ms. Victoria Holt. After finished reading it, I was very impressed. It has depth, suspense, mystery, and romance. After reading that one, I went to every store and buy as many books as I can that are written by her. I love all the plots. I like how she makes the heroine and her lover fight with each other at first but fall for each other in the end.

This is an outstanding collection of old timey songs and great stories telling the life in music of Doc Watson. David Holt, conducts an interesting interview with Doc and gets him to tell some of the stories behind the music and behind the people in the music. A great historical account but even more so,a wonderful recording of friends making music together with amazing guitar picking and foot stompin' old time banjo. A must album for folk and bluegrass fans. The songs you always want to hear.

I have traveled extensively in Eastern Europe and this is the best book I have seen about the region. It's informative, concise, and funny to boot! Anyone traveling in any of these seventeen magnificent countries should take Let's Go with them.

I think this book shows you alot about life and the results of paths you can take. Sometimes you have to follow your heart and do what you believe is right, not what you were taught

In this work, Holt makes a strong case for women's agency in the domestic economy movement. Focusing on the rural midwest, Holt looks at how women accepted and participated in educational programs run through the Children's Bureau and the Department of Agriculture, which served to make rural farm life more attractive to women. Her examples provide insight into early twentieth century life for rural women and the challenges they faced.

This is one of the best books in the Carr series, Daughters of England. There is action right from the beginning of the book with some political intrigue and a young romance. The results of this romance lead the heroine, Priscilla, into more intrigue and danger in Venice. Priscilla then makes a sacrifice for her father, a man who had always dismissed her as "just a daughter," and even this sacrifice continues to haunt her and threaten her daughter, Carlotta. Satisfactorily at the end, the father comes to learn of the sacrifice his daughter made for him and realizes that daughters can be even more important than sons. There is a murder at the end of the book that reverberates into the next book in the series, Song of the Siren, which is also excellent.

Tom Holt has moved Lucia to the days of Winston Churchill and WWII. He wrote this sequel to the Lucia novels after E.F. Benson passed on, and I must say, he did an admirable job of catching the dialog exactly. You'd swear that Benson wrote this book.

The plot is predictably Lucia, who seeks to gain local social prominence, this time amongst the officers who are heading off to war. Their staff of servants (cook especially) are off doing important wartime work and Lucia and Georgie must fend for themselves. Georgie turns out to have a flair for the kitchen, even with wartime rationing and a surfeit of parsnips. He escapes from Lucia's domininance to shine on his own. Which leads to the triumphant end of the book, and a dinner for a certain cigar chomping notable.

Sad this is out of print, so seek one out. If you are a Lucia addict, this book will add to your enjoyment.
