The only thing keeping me from giving this book a higher rating is the main character sounds too modern. Not that a woman from this time frame wouldn't have some of the modernistic thoughts, I just think she would have stated her beliefs a bit differently. I've read numerous real diaries of this time period. The story itself is fascinating and overall I did thoroughly enjoy the book. Others may find the "diary's" style to be too flowery and wordy (although I think it fits the time period and character).
