Great read
This is Elin Hilderbrand's first historical fiction and she nailed it. I didn't do any research, but from her author's note (which is also a must read!), it sounds like she did. I loved how the events in the novel were interwove with events that really happened. I'm used to reading historical fiction set over 100 years ago, so I wasn't sure what to expect, but I loved this!

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.

Lovely story but its just that, a fantasy of historical fiction. As long as you know that you shouldn't be upset .
