I really enjoyed this book. It took me a little longer than it probably should have to realize the two story lines were converging, but I thought the alternating story lines and chronology were an interesting element to the story. The ending was not what I anticipated and I loved it even more for surprising me! A good read overall.

Ariel Lawhon does an excellent job with her historical novels. Very well researched and she infuses all the characters with life.
