From what you ha...Thanks for a interesting review. From what you have said, it encompasses many of the reasons I read and enjoy historical fiction. My first preference, almost a requirement is that the book be historically accurate. Many books are good fiction, but many authors take common knowledge and use that as their factual basis for the story. Mr. Gortner has gone the extra mile to make sure he is presenting an evenhanded picture of the woman and her time. I look forward to reading this book and his other one.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5339009608152299571.post-34259321494602843592010-05-14T14:10:01.939-04:002010-05-14T14:10:01.939-04:00Thank you, Heather, for this insightful review; I&...Thank you, Heather, for this insightful review; I'm honored to be here as part of the HFBRT event and I sincerely hope your readers enjoy my new book.C.W.
