Caravan Audiobook

" One of my absolute favorites! "

" This is a wonderful read; perfect for when you want to get lost in a book that takes you on a interesting and fun adventure. It is a tale of a young girl raised in a circus, who finds herself in the Sahara desert using her own gifts and circus tricks to survive. "

" I really like Gilman's books. Always adventurous. "

" This is one of my all time favorite books and my absolute favorite romance! "

" I am a big fan of Dorothy Gilman's Mrs. Pollifax series, but this book blue me away. It is so well written with unexpected twists and turns. Takes place at the beginning of the 1900s in England and quickly moves to Africa. One woman's story. Wonderful. "

" A great woman's book. It's a crazy ride but it's fun! "

" Loved this book, it reminds me of Madeline Brent. "

" Enchanting! "The silent desert sky enters your soul and stays there." Truly fascinating story, and the writing is superb, as always. The desert scenes are amazingly real and the various characters we meet are phenomenal. However, this is not a book for kids or teens, since there are mentions of sex, although in as brief and as tasteful a way as possible. "

" Not bad. It started off good, a bit slow in the middle, great ending. "

" Wild and crazy; not really good or even believable but a fun ride. "

" I LOVE this book! I couldn't stop thinking about it after it was done. It really sucks you into its world. "

" I felt like it just scratched the surface. And, let's be honest, we knew what was going to happen from the beginning. "

" A book I return to at least once a year for the adventure, friendship, romance, mystery... it has it all. "

" This book is pretty cheesey, but I really liked it anyway. "

" If you like strong female characters then you will enjoy this one. Dorothy Gilman has become one of my favorite authors. Her Mrs. Polifax series, the inspiration for Murder She Wrote, are quite charming. They are great audio books. "

" Nothing like an adventure across African deserts. If you like a good adventure story, I highly recommend this book. "

" A very quick read, but an interesting novel. Couldn't decide whether to give it 3 or 4 stars. I like learning more about Africa, just kind of wished it had been a true account. I know there are some good ones out there. "

" not as light and airy as Mrs pollifax books "

" Truly captivating. The trial and triumphs of our heroine take your breath away. "

" This is one of my favourite books. I cry every time i read it and i try to read it every couple of years. "

" A real tour d'force. Beautifully written and set in the deserts of what is now Saudi Arabia. It involves kidnapping, derring-do, all my favorite swashbuckling endeavors. The ending is remarkable. Highly recommended. "

" more adventure than mystery--neat story of African desert--fascinating places and characters "

" This is one of my favourite books in the history of Ever. I'm still dragging around the battered old paperback copy I've had since I was a teenager. "

" Very interesting, I felt like I was there! "

" Clearly, I love stories of strong women and Caravan's Caressa definitely fits into this category. This story was tense, exciting, sad and happy and in the end, maddening and then triumphant. "

" Reread this old favorite over the past couple weeks. It's just a story, not an examination of anything, but I love it. "

" This is one of those books I go back to from time to time and remember why I loved it so much the first time. Dorothy Gilman is just a plain old good storyteller, and this is just a plain old good story. "

" An oldie but a goodie "

" started out really good but was kind of dumb towards the end. Holes in the plot were too big. "

" I really liked this one, and it kept me reading. I agree with another commenter that a map would have been nice! I'm not sure how probably the ending was, but I liked it better than the alternative. "
