Title: A dreadful book that I couldn't put down
Review: When I first began reading this book, I was really drawn in. I thought some of the thoughts expressed were really profound and, being an American, I found the British/Irish conflict angle to be very interesting. I also love historical stories about how people felt and acted in a different age. But then I began to realize that this woman hops into bed with a man, any man who comes along, all in the space of about 2 hours or so. I am no prude, but I found this rather extreme (and I'm 15 years younger than this character). I also thought she didn't use very effective problem solving skills and ends up making a lot of her own problems, which makes for frustrating reading. I did finish the book, mainly because I wanted to find out how the historical aspect came out, but I can't recommend it to anyone else.
