Sincerely touched, Not everyday someone can come across a work that inspires them, perhaps others' seem a bit cliche`...or not fully doing the epic justice. But a few years ago I quickly picked up a novel in a dime store, and regretfully didn't get to read the resplendant lines till a few weeks ago, due to motherhood and the joys brought with it. I honestly was swept away, never had I indulged into such a tale woven especially for myself... The unique combination of Fantasy AND History, not leaving out most important...Romance.. these categories masterfully set one into tears, joy and also relief at times. By emotions so easily provoked, I can only end this review in saying it is the pinnacle of ALL books I've ever read, and shall remain so. ;) Marie~

It's one of those books that you would give anything for, if the plot happened to you. You scream, laugh, cry and talk to the book. There are times you throw it away from you saying, "why doesn't she get it? " and there are times you must hold onto it to see what happens. I would recommend this to everyone.

Suffice to say I bought, read and misplaced this book a couple years ago. Until I found one last week I had been looking regularly for a used copy (just so I could put it with my other keepers). Oh how I wish she had more. If you get a chance, go for it!
