I am so glad it was a free book - it means I didn't waste my money...What I read in the overview sounded promising - but the execution failed totally! It was such a boring book that I didn't manage to finish it - and that happens so rarely to me that I can count it on my fingers... And I've been a passionate reader since I was 4 (that's almost 40 years now :D)The two-perspective approach to the plot seemed interesting at first, but the "present" part was so tedious that the "past" part was no rescue from boredome. Madeline is not a likeable main character, you don't feel anything for her, and neither is her assumed beloved... The story goes on and on and nothing much happens... True, the descriptions of the surroundings and the background information on the way of life at the time are OK but definitely not enough to keep your interest in the story.I have to admit that I started skipping pages at about 25% of the book, and decided to stop wasting my time on it somewhere around 50%. Pity, cause I really like historical romances...So, on the whole - don't waste your time, find something much more interesting to entertain yourself.
