I was a little leery about reading a historical novel because I'm more into paranormal thrillers. But after a dear friend recommended it I thought I'd read it. I was not disappointed! This is an excellent novel following the life of Josiah Stubb from his early life when his mother, a whore, stole his innocence at age 13 turning him into a whore. Though he is very lucrative as a whore he finds love but her father, once learning of his orientation, forbids him to see her ever again. He joins the army to distance himself from his past.The characters are remarkable and you can really feel their joy and sadness. You begin to care for Josiah and I caught myself cheering him on.I wish this story didn't end. I really enjoyed it!
