Galilee, by
Clive Barker, is an intense story of two different, but equally powerful families, whose fates have been intertwined ever since the beginning of each dynasty. The Geary and Barbarossa families are both powerful and influential families, beyond an average human's understanding. The Barbarossa family is not only powerful, but also divine. A simple girl from Daskey Ohio, Rachel, marries into one of the families, the Geary family. Little does she know that behind all the flashing lights, there are generations of scandal and dirty secrets. She meets a man from the Barbarossa household, Galilee Barbarossa. She is immediately blown over by his beauty, and amazing build. She finds herself madly in love with him. He has fallen for her as well. Will Rachel and Galilee end up together?
Galilee is a book that is definitely worth reading. It has mystery, suspense, romance, and scandal as well. While it may be for adult audiences, it has a very interesting plot. The story has many different layers that unfold with every chapter. The book lets your imagination run wild as you try to guess what will happen next.
Galilee will keep you guessing until the last page, and leave you asking for more. It is up to your imagination to come up with the rest.
