Setting and time period was very interesting although seemd to skim a lot of historical detail. Not sure if it was trying to be historical romance or just historical fiction. Didn't fit either one very well. Characters were mildly interesting.

I enjoyed this novel about Bianca and her life. But from some of the things I have read online about Bianca I would say that this author has exercised his rights to artistic license with this novel. The story is very interesting and for me it has left a void that is in search of fulfillment with the true facts of what happened to Bianca, her first and second husbands and the tragedy that this novel makes her life out to be. These people lived in hard and trying times, through political intrigue and life threatening illnesses like malaria and the black death which swept many countries, devastating their populations. They truly lived very hard lives and this book shows us a glimpse into just a few of those lives.
