Title: Almost interesting.
Review: I have read several Linda Chaikin books, but this one had so many historical characters and incidents, then a ton of French words thrown in. I finally gave up after 200 pages. It was just too much work to follow the story with the French dictionary, a map of France so you could follow their travels, three family trees, and a two-page list of the characters. If I wanted history, I would just get a history book. I really was looking for historical fiction, emphasis on the fiction. Two stars for all the research that had to have gone into this book. Just no flow to the story.
