It seems like a good book to know so you can recognize modern retellings or books that happen to have similarities.

I like your thinking- buy for him, read for you!

Glad you liked it!

Cynthia, as a writer I think you would love it- the prose is so rich. One of those I did not want to end and am hoping for a sequel!

A mystery like du Maurier’s Rebecca? I’m in!

I think you’ll like it. It’s a lot of plot but so evocative of the time and place. Really swept me away.

I’ve seen it recommended but the description by the publisher didn’t get me. But if you say it’s worth a read, I’ll try it. 🙂

BUT, the story just didn’t work for me in the end. I think with some fine tune editing down a few pages, it would have been more manageable. It just sagged in the middle a bit. A truly unique book though, and I’ve never read anything else quite like it.

There aren’t many novels set during the 1600s (At least not many that I’ve heard of).
