Title: historical details take over the book
Review: It is hard to get through this book and get to know the characters well. Robson puts massive amounts of historical and visual details in her book and doesn't develop the characters well. Also, their speech, although probably accurate for the time frame, makes it difficult to read as well. If you want to paint a picture of this time, read the book, but if you want a story, pass over this one.
