il-ħalfa tad-destin
Fejn qatt kont nobsor li l-Gran Mastru De Valette kellu bint, u li din kienet se tiġi hawn Malta f’nofs l-Assedju l-Kbir?
U ferm aktar minn hekk, min kellu jgħidli li f’dan l-uragan ta’ mwiet, battalji ħorox u taqtigħ il-qalb bla qies, jien u hi konna se nsiru ninħabbu?
Veru li jiena kont wieħed mill-gwardji personali ta’ De Valette fdat bil-missjoni sigrieta li akkost ta’ kollox, anki ta’ ħajti stess, kelli nfittex li nipproteġi u nħarrab lil Isabella minn Malta … qabel ma t-Torok jaħtfuha taħt idejhom!
Imma tgħid, kif kien se jirnexxilna noħorġuha minn Sant’Anġlu meta kull fejn tħares, ħlief suldati Torok għassa tagħna ma kontx tara? Kif konna se nħarrbuha sal-Imdina u neħduha l-Kastell t’Għawdex biex wara, insalpaw biha lejn Sqallija meta x-xwieni Torok kienu l-ħin kollu għaddejjin bir-ronda, jgħassu bir-reqqa l-ibħra kollha tal-madwar?
U fuq kollox, min kien lest li wara dawn il-perikli kollha jibqa’ magħha sal-aħħar … biex jeħlisha wkoll minn dak it-tirann li kienet se tkun imġiegħla tiżżewweġ kontra qalbha …?
Ħlief jien!

This was a re-read for me because I first read this book last summer. However, I enjoyed the characters and the story so much that I just had to re-live it once more! I just loved how the author made the main character (Bennard) fall in love with the second female main character (Geraldin) rather than the main female character (Isabella). This book signifies to me that although I might be a simple girl and live a normal life it does not mean that I am not desirable or that I am wrong in being so! The author portrayed the character of Geraldin so well and he truly inspired me to be who I am in my life and not try to do as others. This message alone makes me love this book the most out of all the books from the author and is truly going to be one that I re-read over and over again just to remind myself that I am enough as I am and that I do not need to change. Those who will truly love me will love me as I am and not as someone else.
