Wittsend (43 KP) rated The Mango Orchard: Travelling Back to the Secret Heart in Books
Aug 2, 2017
Although the book was easy to read, found it a bit unbelievable at times considering it is claiming to be a true story. I have to wonder if the author embellished the story a bit. Hard to believe that so many thing went wrong and then worked themselves out perfectly during his journey. The story was still nice and did find myself engaged throughout.

what a fab story line, the writer made this story hard to put down. the romance between the characters builds slowly throughout the book. the characters were well written and made this book easy to read. this book is a true romantic suspense, the steamy scenes are kept to a minimum but work well within the story.

A good film, well made, based on a true story. Just a pity there isn't a little more action or tension. The subject might be a tad boring for some and the film is very slowly paced.
