Sophy of Kravonia A Novel eBook Anthony Hope
not as good as Prisoner of Zenda, but still a good story.would have been so much better if he could have been semi-honest about sex, but as a popular writer in his time, with many young people among his audience, Hope (who wrote for the money) had to pretend that his Sophy lived through all her adventures as a virgin
Hope could never be honest about sex. only in Zenda did the story work fully, because given those unique circumstances it was perfectly credible that his hero would not lay a hand on Princess Flavia
in this story, it is just timidity on the author's part
he also missed a good chance by not having her lead her mountaineers to the capital for a victory lap at the end, and THEN maybe withdraw in the face of Austrian intervention
would have made a more satisfying climax
but I still enjoyed it
a reminder of what the world lost of the wonderful old scenes in eastern Europe, destroyed by two World Wars
his Kravonia is a cross between Slovenia and Montenegro

Sophy of Kravonia A Novel eBook Anthony Hope Reviews
not to everyone's taste, but if you know some Victorian-era history, the story of how an orphan servant girl becomes briefly queen of a small Balkan state, is well done and even credible. a fun read. only major weakness was the author's inability to be honest about the heroine's love life
Most interesting with lots of twists.
