The Sands of Time

by Sidney Sheldon

FOUR WOMEN AND THE MEN THEY ARE FORBIDDEN TO LOVE

Four nuns find themselves suddenly thrust into a hostile world they long ago abandoned for the safety of the convent. Unwittingly they become pawns in a battle between the charismatic Jaime Miro, leader of the outlawed Basque nationalists, and the ruthless Colonel Ramon Acoca of the Spanish Army.

Megan
the orphan, who feels an overpowering attraction to Jaime Miro

Lucia
the fiery Sicilian beauty on the run for murder – and Rubio Arzano, the freedom fighter who risks his life to save her

Teresa
whose guilty conscience finally drives her to betray her friends

Graciela
who bears a terrible secret that almost destroys her – and the courageous Ricardo Mellado who loves her.

'The Sands of Time' is an unforgettable adventure and a heart-stopping romance, set against the timeless and dramatic landscape of Spain.

Reviews

I enjoyed this, despite the ease with which a few of the nuns gave up their cause for more earthly desires. You get a little taste of the Basque guerilla movement, a little taste of romance, and a big taste of adventure. A fun read.
