Please Pass The Books Review:

Well—THAT hit the sweet spot!  Versailles? Rebellion? Secrets and deception? Check, check, check…The Sign of Change has them all.

Although she comes across initially as painfully naïve, the complexities of Lilette's nature blossom as the story progresses.  As much as Lilette, Lord Joseph de Bonveleur, Jerome and the other characters play their roles, the time and settings are almost characters themselves—wholly engrossing and tantamount to a tightly written plot [and all wrapped up in ribbons of symbolism].

If this is truly El-Tahwagi's debut novel, it will be exciting to see where this author goes next.

FIVE STARS
