"A single look. That was all it took...One single glance, for them both to know that they wanted each other more than they had wanted anything else in the world. It was "love at first sight" indeed."This story opens up and takes you to another time and place. An adventure where the mundane is not attainable. Forbidden love for no other reason than color of ones skin. Just like life, this story is about sacrifice and judgment. Where the color of your skin determines how you can and cannot share your love with another. Where love is forbidden for reasons that makes sense to some but not all. It’s a great meaningful topic with touching characters that you can’t help fall in love with.I really enjoyed the poetic flow and the fairytale quality to this unusual enthralling story. There is a depth that reached out to the farthest depth of my inner-core. It is a beautiful story that takes you in, entertains you and makes you a part of the saga instantly. Marc & Amaryllis is unique and spellbinding. It has you routing for the lovers as you feel their great pain. The way the writer shares their special connection you cannot help but get lost in this memorizing adventure of love and survival. There is beauty in the dialog that I found irresistible. Like Romeo and Juliette. Here is a love that needs few words but you can feel it by the colorful descriptions. The romantic part of me believes in love at first sight.“He jumped out of his nightmare with a leap up in his seat. It was still night. Rye lay on his donkey, still fast asleep. MarcoAntonio looked around, almost as if he could not believe that he'd awaken from the dream. He rubbed his face and felt the wetness of the single tear that streamed down. Drawing in a long hard breath he spoke, “Amaryllis,” only for the sake of himself. As if by saying her name, things would somehow make sense.”
