Official synopsis Publisher
“Being very feminine and naturally pretty (so pretty that others lose their reason) isn’t every woman’s good fortune. For those who do possess those charms, life can bring some powerful, often unexpected experiences. They may encounter events which affect them in a way that others never experience. However, this may not always feel advantageous.” Maria is a beautiful woman, but her looks have not brought her happiness. “Women who possess true beauty may find themselves bullied because of it. The root cause is often jealousy, and an insecure partner, or friend, or colleague will seek to gain control. In a relationship, a pretty woman may be perceived as weak; however, an apparent softness coupled with an adorable appearance doesn’t guarantee that she is easily led, and those who try to act on their assumptions may find themselves confounded by her strength of character. They respond angrily, when they realise their mistake.”
