It's rare books that mix history with a flamboyant writing that takes us to the style and clarity of writing, this book is one of the finest examples. While the story is a bit romanticized, but did she not always and not only by columnists, she has not always written to glorify the powerful and the dominant ideology. This book makes us follow a character who has probably been responsible for many innovations. Trade with lifting, positioning allied with the Egyptians against the Turks. The affirmation of the bourgeoisie against the nobility. The struggle between the power of a man against the arbitrariness of kings and jealousy. The search for love. A book that one eats and who can afford to love the story. And how not to be sensitive to the quality of style, images and smooth writing this makes us even more endearing characters that are beautifully described.
