Emotional
Deeply moving yet so readable
Normally historical accounts of such awful experiences are difficult to read but this is so hard to put down. Somehow despite the atrocities being described it keeps you spellbound. There is a lightness and humour in parts that is almost as remarkable as the charactor in the book.

Does anyone have a favourite genre for historical fiction? I do like the elegance of the Regency, but the further back in history you go, the less is know and the more there is for an author to fill in, so medieval is quite a feature of my bookshelves. I also like a good historical mystery.

I really get on my high horse about it at times. I don’t mind if authors acknowledge it, and say that it is not quite right, but it didn’t work as a story, but I get a little upset when they try to pass it off as fact ;)

I've had things that have stopped me in my tracks before, thinking "that's not right!". A little learning is a dangerous thing :-)

So bad it's almost good. don't even worry about historical inaccuracies and psychological plausibilities as we lurch from the sublime to the ridiculous!
