I appreciate you cross-posting at Historical Tapestry as well.

One of them is that I am not really all that familiar with the time, place, and characters, and since one of the reasons I love historical fiction is to increase my knowledge, the book seems like it would be just about perfect. I am glad to hear that you liked it, and will now be adding this to my wish list. Great review, by the way!Zibileehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07443338685890187334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18884029.post-50146705011394372332011-07-23T06:10:13.703+10:002011-07-23T06:10:13.703+10:00I have read two of Koen's previous books, with...I have read two of Koen's previous books, with mixed results.
