This novel is captivating. The plot is conducted drum beating, the historical background is well referenced and one begins to imagine that the story could be realistic (perhaps is she? Only the author clearly knows! ) I particularly liked the fact that the thread of the narrative in the first part is in the hands of "evil" is rare enough to be stressed; each tour page makes it odious.
A very good book that I highly recommend to anyone who likes the historical thrillers.
