The Silk Romance is a rich and luxurious story about Sophie, the English student, and Jean-Luc Olivier (love that name) the famous French race car driver.  After a disasterous first encounter years ago - neither one has really been able to forget about the other.  When Jean-Luc "arranges" for Sophie to spend time working at his silk factory, he is hoping for answers as to what went wrong the last time they were together.  On the other hand, Sophie is only hoping that her time there will end quickly so she can return home to her brother and her ill father.Neither one of the expects things to go the way they do.  Helena is excellent at slowly drawing the history and feelings out of the characters.  You discover everything right along with them which really helps to bring the characters to life.  This is no smooth ride either.  They come from two different worlds, and trying to bring them together doesn't always work out as well as they hope.  It was a fantastic and smoothly flowing story that was wonderful to read.
