Very interesting. It took quite awhile to get interesting, but finally made it. I loved the characters.

I have been a reader of romance/historical novels for years and unfortunately this one, I just couldn’t bother to finish. I gave it until chapter 12 where our judgmental snot of a heroine was still in a self righteous fury against an unfortunate man who had actually made something of himself. I cannot help but comment that the beginning of the novel lifts up a woman who abandons her husband because she wants to be an artists, and heralds this as the way all women should go forward. Seriously? My husband has just not agreed to indulge me my passion so I will leave him? It is really not worth the effort.
