I highly recommend this novel ! I found it to be quite the page turner!  I love Gabaldon's Outlander series but sometimes grow weary of her many lengthy  "detours" that only serve to lengthen the read not improve on it.  Shapiro gets right to the point and sticks to the plot without failing to develop her characters. The plot takes on many unpredictable twists and turns that make the book hard to put down. I also enjoyed the insights on the moral  philosophies of that time in history which made it so difficult for women to "survive". I have enjoyed Shapiro's other novels as well, but this was my favorite .
