Title: A heavy, ponderous work
Product review: This story was ponderous and tedious. A complicated story line, which caused difficulty in understanding what was going on. If you don't already have a strong historical knowledge for this time period and place, you may have difficulty understanding the names, events, places, etc. I gave up on it after only going about 1/3 through it. Just not worth the effort.
