RECENZIA: Lucinda Riley - Čierna orchidea

Sumár recenzie
Recenzia: Čierna Orchidea je dojímavý príbeh o veľkej láske, zlomenom srdci a nádeji od autorky Lucindy Rileyovej, ktorý sa odohráva v anglickom šľachtickom sídle a v horúcom Thajsku počas druhej svetovej vojny. Príbeh sa odvíja v dvoch časových linkách – v súčasnosti a historickej – postupne odkrýva tajomstvá a zároveň ponúka prekvapenia, ktoré udržujú čitateľov v napätí. V románe sa objavuje široká škála charakterov, niektoré sympatickejšie a iné menej, čo dodáva príbehu dynamiku a zaujímavosť. Napriek niektorým nedostatkom v dejovej linke je zakončenie uspokojivé a príbeh je plný zvratov, vášne a lásky.
