Hailed by <i>The Daily Telegraph </i>as enthralling to read, Lesley Blanch's first book tells the story of Isabel Burton, the wife and traveling companion of the explorer Richard Burton; Jane Digby, who exchanged European society for an adventure in loving; Aimée Dubucq de Rivery, a Frenchwoman captured by pirates who became a member of the Turkish sultan's harem; and Isabelle Eberhardt, a Swiss woman who dressed as a man and lived among the Arabs of Algeria.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"An exuberantly colorful book."<br> --Orville Prescott, <i>The New York Times</i><br><br>"Love, wanderlust, faraway places--all that Romance implies--make up this delicious book. . . . Ideal reading."<br> --<i>Washington Post Book World</i><br><br>"Over the years, many full-length biographies of [these] four heroines have been published. . . . But Lesley Blanch's short, imaginative, and highly poetic account of their lives and personalities remains unsurpassed."<br> --<i>The Independent </i>(London)<br>
