Title                              : The Marriage Contract

Author                         : Alexandra Jones

Publisher                      : Scarlet, 1997

Pages                           : 388

            I chose this novel because the title of this novel was familiar and I think that can make me easy in reading this novel, but the story was different from others. The novel tells about the man the name was Stuart who was married with Olivia because of the contract, actually they didn’t love each other, but in over time they fell in love.    

According to me the best character of this novel is Stuart because he was kind, handsome, and loyal. He worked hard for his wife and children. And he tried to be survive although her wife doesn’t care of him and the children. But his wife Olivia she was a workaholic, selfish and ambitious. She wanted to develop her father’s company but her way was wrong she didn’t pay to her husband and her children.

            I really enjoyed the best part of this novel is when Stuart went bankrupt, because the company where he did got a problem. Than it makes her wife Olivia aware that wealth isn’t everything but their happiness is beyond everything. 

           

            And the value that we can get from this novel is if we want to reach something, we have to work hard but when we didn’t reach it don’t be disappointed because that isn’t the last of our live. Like Stuart who failed to make his wife proud of his job and make his wife company developed.

            The title of this novel is Open Wings. This novel tells about the man the name was Jimmy who was met with Lorna in the garden. Jimmy wanted to help Lorna bringing the cherry from the garden to her house, and in overtime they fell in love. But in other Michael also fell in love to Lorna and Sally loved to Jimmy.  But because they (Jimmy and Lorna) were very love each other and then they got married.

            According to me the best character from this novel is Jimmy he was good looking, kind, loyal, and patient person. And the character which I don’t like is Sally she was Lorna’s cousin but she was concerned troubled her relationship with Jimmy. 

            And the best part of this novel is when Lorna came back to Jimmy’s house but Jimmy had to go for his duty as an aerodrome. And she waited him all day and all time, after that she got the news that her husband got an accident he was shot by a person. And he was blind. So he felt useless and angry to her wife, he just wanted to make her wife hate him and then leave him. She felt sad and depressed but she always been there beside her husband all the time because she was love, adore and admire him forever.

             I think this novel is good, because this novel teach us that love is a powerful just like Lorna who was strong to solve her problem and live happily with her husband just because she kept her love.

Title                              : Mistress Mellyn

Author                          : Victoria Holt

Publisher                      : Fawcett Crest Books,

Pages                           : 240

The title of this novel is Mistress Mellyn. This novel tells about Martha Leigh the heroine who entered as a governess in a wealthy family living in a mysterious house called Mellyn Manor. She's given the responsibility of Alvean Tremellyn, the daughter of Conan Tremellyn. Martha is drawn to the mysteries and secrets that lie behind Conan's wife's mysterious death.

The best character of this novel is Martha Leigh, She was a gentlewoman in penurious circumstances. Having failed to marry by the age of twenty-four, a governess's position is her only other option. Martha described as plain, with brown eyes that she has been told are too bold. And she did have a bold personality, but the character that I don’t like is Conan Tremellyn he was an arrogant, cold and mysterious.

The best part of this novel is when Martha knew that Connan's wife, Alice, was killed the year before in a train accident. It seems she was running off with her lover at the time. But all is not as it seems. Martha discovers clues that suggest perhaps something else happened to Alice. When strange things begin happening in the manor, Martha determines to uncover the truth.

I think this novel is interesting enough not to put down.  The mystery  gives me a surprise at the end. I enjoyed it greatly because it is very stressful and makes me wonder because this novel is full of mysteries and secrets of a stressful.
