This book ends with an exceptionally bleak ending. It's not for you if you're looking for a story about overcoming misogynistic institutions.
I didn't mind the 90s setting at all, though I see some reveiwers did - I think the explicit assocations to the breakdown of Charles' and Diana's marrage was really interesting. The interludes of prominent women in Greek/Roman culture were a fantastic touch!
