This book is wonderful.  The characters are interesting and well developed, the period detail is really good, and there is an appropriate amount of tension in what might be a rather slight story.  It isn't really a romance, and it's definitely not a detective story, although there are moments when structure and detail remind me of some detective fiction set in the period, although I think the similarity is fairly superficial.  Definitely one of the best books I've read recently and I'm hoping the rest of this author's work is this good, or at least close to it.
