content: I am in total agreement with the person who wrote that this book is an imposition of the author's 21st century politically correct views on to the 17th century. There are so many things that happen to Anna and yet she is detached and lucid and clear about through it all, it is ridiculous. The ending is horrible, unrealistic, insane and pretty disappointing. Some of the apparently true historical incidents are interesting but forced into the story. I read the book because of the great reviews here on Amazon, but am going to be a little more discriminating on whose reviews I accept!
