Scarlet Carnation: A Novel by Laila Ibrahim is a book I enjoyed reading. Having read this book, I am now a fan of Laila Ibrahim and look forward to reading more of her novels. In addition, I am a fan of historical fiction, and this is one of the best I have read about the second decade of the twentieth century.

Ten Months Without Jan
Time waits for no one. It moves at its pace and leaves us in its wake.
Today is ten months since Jan died. Standing at the cemetery with flowers on a chilly day, I not only showed respect but renewed the bonds of love.
Helen Keller explained better than I how the love Jan and I shared will never die.
What we have once enjoyed, we can never lose. All that we love deeply becomes a part of us.
Part of my soul is buried with Jan, and a portion of hers remains with me. Love never dies!
