Liked it, didn't love it. Our heroine Anna keeps being saved and rescued and being looked after by pretty much everyone she meets. Good for her, but my suspense of disbelief apparently has it's limits. (

This was a well written historical novel. The people, plot, pace and detail were good for a light read. (

4.5 stars....Unlike the one negative reviewer i did not find the book to be disjointed or disappointing!. The first in a series i could easily delve into. As the reader gets involved in the story line you can't help but
empathize/sympatize... both, with the main character Anna.

I wouldn't go so far as to say that this is a literary masterpiece...no. BUT i will go so far as to say that this is an extraordinarily well written, well thought-out book. Kudos to Harriet Steel.
