“The Island of Eternal Love” is a beautiful novel, where fantasy, historical facts, and interracial relationships are the central ideas. I’ve read it twice, and I warmly recommend it.
Hi Miriam and thanks for stopping by and sharing your thoughts regarding the Island of Eternal Love.
Angelia based on your recommendation I’m going to read Passing For Black.
I read and reviewed Passing For Black, a very good book about female love, family expectations and acceptance. Very well written and funny at times.
