A review by luthienneart
Scarlet Sails by Alexander Grin

5.0

The main character, Asol, believed from childhood that a prince would come to her on a white ship with scarlet sails. The protagonist - Arthur Gray, from a very wealthy family - dreamed of the sea and wanted to become a captain. Their wishes came true, life gave the protagonists a fateful encounter and love.

This book is my childhood book and I thought that when I read it as an adult, the magic will disappear. But no, I read it in a day and I love it as I used to. A beautiful, fairytale story with the background: everyone is the architect of his own fortune.
