Review: A good saga with lots of ups and downs - 3.5 stars

This was quite a long and intense story and required some concentration to follow. The H is part of a group of French soldiers who come to the h's farm. The h's husband attacks one of the Indians in the party and he kills her husband. The h is then taken as a captive by the H. There is an attraction between them but obviously the h is grieving for her husband and is angry with the H for a good part of the story. We follow trials and tribulations, an eventual separation but in the end we get our hea.+++Spoiler+++The thing that prevented the story from being a five star read was the part where the h lives openly as the H's mistress even though she'd been the daughter of a minister. I never like this plot line in my historicals and really didn't like it in this book. The other near death thing where she 'sees' her mother was also a bit over the top for me.
