الرجل الذي كره النساء

by Barbara Cartland, باربرا كارتلاند

نظر اوزبون، وتملكه الذهول وهو يرى شخصاً تحت السرير مستغرقاً في النوم، ولم يكن بحاجة إلى الاقتراب من ذلك الشخص.
فقد عرف ذلك الرأس النائم على الوسادة التي لابد أن شيكارا قد احضرتها عن السرير، والمعطف المخملي الاسود المبطن بالفرو الذي غطت به نفسها.

Genres: Romance, Historical Romance

160 pages, Paperback

cute but too short and too fast paced

[Lina Mouloudj · Rating 3 out of 5]

قرأتها في يوم واحد، ما أزعجني هو العنوان السخيف "الرجل الذي كره النساء"، و حتى العنوان الأصلي لهذه الرواية باللغة الإنجليزية هو
"The Marquis Who Hated Women"
أعجبتني القصة، كما اعجبتني شخصية شيكارا، فتاة ذات 18 ربيعا، ذات إرادة و عزم قويين، هربت من منزل عمها الذي كان ينوي إجبارها على الزواج من رجل في 44 من عمره، لذا قررت الهرب و البحث عن والدها عالم الآثار المشهور كانت قد إنقطعت أخباره في مصر منذ 9 أشهر، فقررت شيكارا الذهاب إلى مصر و البحث عنه... فور هروبها من المنزل التقت بالماركيز و لن أقول المزيد ههههه...
كما أعجبتني صراحتها حتى مع نفسها، المغامرة كانت جميلة، إلا أنني أردت المزيد من الصفحات، شعرت أن آخر الصفحات كانت سريعة الأحداث، لاكنها كانت ممتعة على كل حال... هذه أول قراءة لي لبربارا كارتلاند، أخبرتني خالتي أنها كاتبة متميزة، سأقرأالمزيد من رواياتها و أرجو أن تكون أفضل من هذه

This was such a silly bit of fluff but it had some fun and pretty moments in it. I probably would have liked it better without so many Cinderella references. Also, as a seamstress, I found it rather ridiculous that the main character could modify complicated evening gowns from an old style to the new style and to her size in the matter of one afternoon. But romance novels aren't meant to be real and it would've been too much for the author to have birds and mice come help her sew a new gown out of draperies.

Entertaining and easy going

Not bad

[Ahmed Kareem HD · Rating 3 out of 5]

قرأتها منذ أكثر من ثمانية أشهر عندما كنت أقوم في رحلة ما
مازالت تفاصيلها في ذاكرتي واذكر جيدأ انها اعجبتني

[María Mónica Beltrami · Rating 5 out of 5]

Another tour de force for a fairy tale.

Yes, another beautiful novel about a turn around of Cinderella.
Although much wordy for the basic plot, it's worth reading.

What I liked best were the details about the gowns from the famous House of Worth--how they were so coveted by women at the time. And the story was set at a time when the crinoline was starting to disappear and the bustle was just coming out as the new look due to Frederick Worth as a trendsetter.

I do agree with Cheryl's review here that it is hard to believe the heroine Odetta can alter couture gowns on her own in a relatively short time. At least she had help from housekeeper Hannah when she copied a Worth design later in the book.

I liked the book

Like all of her books, she writes about believing in God and fate. I like having something happy to think about,so I keep reading her books because they all have happy endings.

Cartland is sometimes a delightfully odd guilty pleasure.
