This is a passionate, gripping story told by a very talented author. I hadn't read any of his books before and was immensely pleased with the quality of his writing and storytelling in this book. This book is written in such a way that it makes you feel, as a reader, that you're actually going back in time. The descriptions, the plot, the characters, the writing...all work seamlessly together to create a beautifully told story of a woman overcoming tremendous obstacles to make her mark in history. So much of history has been about silencing women's voices, and it's a joy to read a book that celebrates an extraordinary woman in history, tells her story, and gives her a voice. I was very impressed with the quality of writing in this book, the engaging story, the historical facts that I didn't know about, and the way the characters came to life on the pages. I will definitely be looking for more from this author in the future. Well done!
