The Blighted Troth was an intriguing story.  There were so many twists and turns and I loved how all the characters were connected and the story came together at the end.  The religious components and the social system of 18th Century French Canada were interesting to learn about and I thought this was a great historical fiction, in that it kept events compelling while still showing some history.  My only objection was that the graphic violent sex contrasted more than was necessary, with the strong theme of forgiveness and God that ran through the rest of the book, and could have achieved a purpose with much less detail.
