Wish on a Star — Patricia Fenwick

Wish on a Star
~~~ first published 1956

Glamorous Rio De Janeiro, "The Wonderful City," is the sort of place where life is inevitably lived on a dramatic plane. And it provides an apt setting for this story of an impulsive marriage, its early difficulties and final success.

----

When she was shown her first view of the Southern Cross, Myra wished -- as what young bride wouldn't? -- for the success of her marriage; a marriage made at a few days' notice, and still full of uncertainties. But she had no real doubts until she reached Rio de Janeiro, “the Wonderful City, and found that her faith and love were to be stringently tested, and her whole happiness menaced, in a way that she had never foreseen. The story reaches an exciting climax amongst the flames of riot and the fury of a tropical thunderstorm.
