Review title: Fascinating view of life in South America in the 16th C
Product review: People looking for a historical romance novel will be dissapointed. This often happens to those taken in by marketing ploys to sell reality history books to the general novel-reading public.Truth is stranger, and more interesting, than fiction. Other reviewers have already given a lot of details. I will say that the part toward the end dealing with the main female character's trip down the Amazon is completely amazing and unbelievable. What people went through to travel back then or even just to deliver a letter!The only place the book bogged down for me a bit was in the details regarding the cartographic measurements that the French scientists made in Ecuador. This is a minor point. The rest is fascinating. For those interested in the real thing; well-written, readable history, this is it!
