Save:The Force of Such Beauty by Barbara Bourland tells the story of Caroline, a former Olympic runner whose life takes a dramatic turn after an accident ends her athletic career. As she recovers, she becomes entangled in the world of European royalty after getting engaged to a prince. However, her life in the principality is far from the fairytale she imagined. Instead of freedom, she finds herself in a gilded cage, where her every move is monitored. The comparison to real royal scandals makes the story relatable and timely.
The writing is engaging, capturing the claustrophobic atmosphere of royal life. Bourland delves into the dark realities faced by women in such positions, highlighting their lack of control, personal sacrifices, and the shallow nature of royal duties. While the book has a plot-driven focus, certain moments are steeped in emotional depth. Readers may find themselves reflecting on the true cost of beauty and status in the modern world.
