This book starts out slowly and there are many characters involved in the plot. As you read and gain insight into the lives and experiences of each character the story begins to pull you in. Once you start seeing the mysteries in the story it becomes more of a page turner. I was grateful to learn about this time period from an author who seems very interested in history and working collaboratively with the relevant people and sources to prevent inaccuracies. The book really comes together at the end.
