As historical romances go, this one is good. There's action, suspense, romance and a host of both factual and fictional characters for readers to get their teeth into. What takes away from it is the cliché, and the story is a little cumbersome in places. There are a lot of very heavy subjects tackled in this book, and they could have been researched better. The characters are varied and the relationship between the main characters was well handled. This is an interesting book with real historical points thrown in. It’s one of those books that those interested in the time period and subject matter will enjoy.
