Helpful Score: 2
This is not my type of book but I like period novels so I took a chance on it. I was pleasantly surprised for the first 300 pages of the book but the ending was anti-climactic and an emotional dud. It was like listening to a pianist who could not find the right note at the end of an otherwise nice performance. My reaction was to shrug "That's it? Eh!" But I think most people will probably like this book. It's a fast and easy read.
