I liked this book. It actually succeeded in being a romance novel AND a book with grit, difficult choices and a hero and heroine who struggle and not just through misunderstandings. I like the fact that Leo can be unpleasant, stubborn, blind... and still have good qualities. It was well written, great character descriptions with depth to the characters.I like books that do no shy away from hard sells as rape, murder, pillaging and that sort of thing. It gives the whole story a nice feeling of reality. Elsbeth and Leo have to act within the boundaries set by the society of that time period, people close to them do and experience bad things.Lynettes story touched me deeply. I found her life, her reaction to her marriage, situation and so on delightfully realistisc and you hope she will find happiness for herself till the end.
