content (according to text back):
It happened like this.
I was stolen from to airport. Taken from everything I knew, everything I was used to. Taken to sand and heat, dirt and danger. And he expected me to love him. This is my story.
A letter from nowhere.
The book : The sixteen year old English girl Gemma is located at the airport in Bangkok with their parents. You want to travel. There she is aware of a young man. He has beautiful blue eyes, blond hair and tanned skin. He invites them for coffee. And Gemma is gone.
Romulus, she learns more about her abductor. And notes at some point that Ty can not hate them - despite everything. describes Haunting soulful Lucy Christopher, the fate of abductees. She writes of despair and loneliness, of uncertainty and injustice.
The whole story is presented as a letter from Gemma to Ty. Just create the intimacy and emotional insight into Gemma's world, as one would probably not get it otherwise. Gemma told chronologically what happened to her and what she felt. She paints a very stereotypical image of an atypical Kidnappers and its motives.
feel thanks to the letter form the story very real, and can almost believe in a true story. 
Gemma is more than credible. You can always understand their feelings and concerns. Nothing is wrong, or put on. Just so would probably a girl her age in her situation to behave. Above all, their sense changes towards Ty is interesting and credible. At first she is fearful, shy - but the more she learns about Ty, the better they understand his motives - whether one wants to or not. Ty is also a formidable character. His story is moving and not even I can see him as a villain. This is He eventually - but there is the very question, whether the bad guys are really getting angry. The boundary between good and evil is blurred here, is unrecognizable. The author makes it clear that there can be no clear definition that there are always two sides. And that the kidnapping of his reasons and a past. And above all, that he is a man.
speaks in her letter to Gemma Ty always direct. Everything she writes about her experiences with Ty, she told him directly. She always speaks to him as "you" to. Often she reproaches him, they cursed him that she can not hate him - he has never left her but the choice of him to love from.
This directness is unfamiliar and therefore more impressive. is a story about the Stockholm Syndrome - and a very good one at that. It is not dramatic, not accusing. Instead, very quiet and virtually free of value in terms of the author. The protagonist does not manage to present their experiences as negative.
