![]() The relearning of words reminded me a little of what I recall in one of the older Helen Keller movies in it's emotional stirrings. Maddy is his light and hope because she sees what no one else seems to be able to-the man who still resides inside. ![]() Using techniques which today would seem rather barbaric and suffering abuse from one of his caretakers, he's helpless and prone to fits of violence. The doctor whose care he has been put in thinks there's no hope for him. ![]() He has to relearn almost everything but before there is a light at the end of the tunnel, he's thrown into his own private hell. His coordination is off and he's unable to do the simplest of tasks like buttoning a shirt. He loses his ability to speak or understand what others are saying to him. Kinsale truly delivered with this one.Įarly on in the book Christian, the Duke of Jervaulx, suffers what I suspect, from the symptoms described, is a stroke. ![]() You know what? I truly love it when an author can take a character like this and turn him around in my eyes. I thought to myself the author is going to have a hard sell on the romance with this one where I was concerned because I thoroughly disliked the man. As I read the prologue of this book I wondered how I could ever like the hero of this book? He's vein, selfish, careless, privileged, wealthy, and egotistical. ![]()
