Summary: A HIDDEN LOVE STORY
Review: Yes I know , this is the kind of book you read when you are a child. I did it. But if you read it again when you are older suddenly there is a totally diferent book.It is a dark story. A book full of conflicts not only political ones. But brother vs. brother, father vs. son; Christian vs. Hebrew; pure love vs. passion.It is still one of those classics that you can read and read again. It is easier than other Scott novels, but I think is deeper. Because here Scott is completely focussed on the story. It is out of Scotland and perhaps this is the reason.
But why is still one of my favourites? Brian de Bois Gilbert. I konw he is the bad guy. But what a bad guy! The confrontation between He and Rebecca is one of those that you never forget. Both are pasionate, and strong. Of course is , by far , more interesting than the story between Rowena and Ivanhoe.
Maybe if the story had been written now the love story will be between Rebecca and Bois Gilbert.
But apart from that I suggest you to read again this book or try it if you never did. It is still full of adventures and romance. A classic.
