Very good plot, a good historical fiction. (0 more)

Well written with a marriage of history and art.

I was not sure about this book when i picked it up, i love historical fiction but was not 100% sure by the blurb. I was pleased i persevered because i enjoyed the book very much. The characters really came alive and the culture and art you could see so vividly. Would recommend to anyone who likes a historical fiction love story.

Is there any chance of getting a couple of genres added to the Book list? I've had a few in the Historical Fiction genre, as well as Military Fiction, come through recently.
