Review title: About 400 pages too long
Product review: I really liked Petals on the River, and for that reason picked up this title by the same author. When I found myself laid-up for 2 months in bed with a herniated disk in my neck, I tried to distract myself from the pain by reading something engrossing. I thought this would be the perfect solution. Really though, it was unbelievably tedious. I love historical novels, and romance all the better. The characters could have carried me away, but I agree with others that it dragged on and on and by the time I read for the 1000-th time how lovely Synnovea's creamy skin or gorgeous dress was, I wanted to scream. I began to wonder which was more painful--finishing this book, or my own neck. My recommendation: don't bother. Get a good Nora Roberts and a cup of tea by the fire.
