Review: Captivating historical fiction
Rating: 5 out of 5

What a great story! It was quite interesting and held my attention throughout. I was amazed as the story unfolded, and I engaged completely with the descriptions--it felt like I was there. The characters came alive on the pages, and I was mesmerized by the interaction of these great European cultures. I read the book in February 2014, and the issues discussed in other reviews were not apparent to me. Nathaniel Burns has a real gift to help bring history alive in a fictional way. I look forward to reading more of his work.
