Enjoyed the book until the end, then felt as if i'd been dropped like a hot potato. The author took so much time to lead you up to the end, I wish she'd given us a little more information, although maybe she is saving it for a sequel. The historical aspect of the book was great, as were the characters and the story line. Over all it was great, and i think a good choice for a book club, know i'll be recommending it to my club.
