Loving LuciaCourting CeliaCourting Celia and Loving Lucia are novels set in Italy a long time ago. A time when man were real man, and the woman. Ah, the women had to do what the man told them to do. Ms. Rose recreates this world in a delightful romantic way. Courting Celia is the Taming of the Shrew by W. Shakespeare in a 21st century jacket. Like DJ Tiesto plays Bach. Something like that.And it's like sitting with friends late at night around a campfire on the beach and Ms. Rose starts telling her story. And an alluring story it is.The men in the story are strict and firm, but since the 15th century nothing really has changed. The man are only feeling powerful because it is the woman that allows him feel powerful. There is one beautiful snippet that a have to share with you from Courting Celia.'And why do you feel safer with him?'... 'It is just that I know him better, so I feel secure. I trust him. I know he cares about me and wants what's best for me. He defended me...'So that's what Loving Lucia and Courting Celia is all about. Love and trust. Ms. Rose has a very unique way of telling her story at our campfire. You only know what I mean once you have read the book. I'm sure you will agree with me and I hope you can describe that better than I can.So, when the lights are out and her voice is hoarse of telling, she will tell us that tomorrow she will tell another story for us. There is always another story to tell. But first you simply have to savour Loving Lucia and Courting Celia.
