I finally finished ADAM RUNAWAY by Peter Prince. It is the story of a young Adam Hanaway who is forced to go to Lisbon to rebuild the family fortune after the suicide of his father over a major stock failure in England. His adventures in Lisbon begin with a shaky start working in the trading business for his Uncle Felix, and end with him working as a street peddler selling images of saints. He must learn to navigate the culture, which is dominated by the Inquisition, codes of honor and unwritten law.
It was a nice read...Prince did a great job developing all of the characters. I could absolutely image this as a movie. It was an escape from the everyday...nothing to write home about. I give it 3 1/2 of 5 stars.
