Query: A Realistic Romance

My mother recommended Desiree to me but had to special order it, I ended up getting it for my b-day when I was about 14. No bookstore carried it then either. At that time it was the longest book I had ever read -- but I couldn't put it down!What I like best is how things don't go "storybook perfect" for her but she still ends up successful. It is a good lesson for those pre-teen girls desperate for their first romance.I highly recommend this novel to those of any age who enjoy historical romances/epics.
