Title: Smith again transports us to other places/times convincingly
Review: I have read every book M.C. Smith has written, and Rose is as good as any of them, which is saying a lot. Those who have trouble with some of the plot elements are, imho, judging the issues from todays standards. As for not recognizing his lover, perhaps it is a case of not seeing what we don't wish to see. Is Rose selfish? Again, one can't judge by today's habits. I recommend this book to anyone who can put aside their modern judgements and let Smith take them to another time and place.
Is the review positive or negative?
