Title: Disappointing..
Review: Loving history, rich detail, medicine, period pieces, I was anxious to read this, but absolutely could not maintain interest. I didnt care about the characters, nothing they did moved me, and I didnt feel anything exciting from the period. Reading it felt more like an assignment than pleasure. If you want to feel the real excitement of being there, being educated and richly entertained while reading, try Ken Follet's "The Pillars of the Earth" - (this is not a spy novel).
