Pocket Star March 1, 2002 Paperback used; good
In a striking departure from her usual light, funny, often whimsical romanc es (Wicked), Barnett has penned a riveting, multilayered mainstream novel o f heroism, love, and personal growth set against the emotionally charged ba ckdrop of World War II. Fast-paced and turbulent, her story sweeps a quinte t of compelling characters from their diverse and separate lives and brings them together in adventure and tragedy, linking them forever in ways they could never have predicted. Witty dialog, a refreshing sprinkle of humor, a nd well-chosen details of the 1940s lighten this poignant, emotionally invo lving novel that is definitely mainstream but still spins a series of love stories with enough romantic appeal to please even the most die-hard romanc e fan.

Jill Barnett claims she got the idea for her 13th-century romance, Wonderfu l, from a beer commercial, from which she learned that ale-making was one o f the few occupations open to medieval women. Lady Clio is a headstrong, in dependent-minded young woman who would like nothing more than to rediscover the long-lost recipe for "heather ale," which was created by the Picts. Al though lovely, Clio has long given up on marriage because her betrothed aba ndoned her to a convent six years before. When Merrick de Beaucort suddenly arrives to claim his bride, he finds that wooing the beautiful Lady Clio i s as difficult and arduous as any battle he has faced. Beneath Clio's placi d countenance and seemingly docile demeanor lies a lively and adventurous w oman with a lot of ideas that Merrick must accept if he is ever to win her love.
