    This is my favorite book!

    This is the most beautiful book I have ever read! It is the only book I have read by Harrison, but I intend to read every book she has written. She writes in such a way that all you have to do is close your eyes, and you can see the characters and the plot come to life. I can read this book over and over again and never get tired of it. The story is absolutly beautiful in it's honesty, it pulls you into it and you feel like you are acutally watching Francesca and Maria Luisa with your own eyes. Some of the sexual scenes are a little graphic, so I would recommend this book to anyone with a more open mind. I have totally fallen in love with this story.

    One of my favorites

    I can't think of a single thing that disappointed me about this novel. If anything, I wish I had read it sooner. The language was beautiful, rhythmic, and so descriptive that I was transported to 17th century Spain and France. It was filled with so much information about the era, more than many other historical novels I've read. Yet the characters were fully developed and quite likeable. I liked the way Francisca and Maria Luisa's stories were told parallel to each other, carefully woven together. It made for a quick, urgent pace. This is a novel that has it all--romance, violence, death, intrigue, mystery, history.... I think there is something in it for everyone.

    Well written with a good story

    Ms. Harrison is an excellent writer, with a style and vocublary that is rare. The story itself was very well researched and therefore educational as well as thought provoking. When reading this book I often found myself captivated and when I stopped I thought I was in 17th century Spain. It truly transports you into it. This is a dark tale about hopelessness, and reminds us of the dangers of intolerance and extremities. The author is very bold in that she tells this story without care for the reader's sensitivities, so honesty is not sacrificed.
