Nice historical detail
A different setting than most Regency romances, with lots of detail about the kingdoms that become Italy, and how the Italian nobility are related to England. There was a heck of a lot of plot here. Pay attention to Mother Margarita. There's a surprise at the end that I enjoyed.

A Victorian novel with a difference. Set in Rome, instead of London, during a turbulent time in Italy's history, this novel has political intrigue as well as all the requisite trapping of a romance. Add in a heroine with strength and a disgraced hero and this makes for a satisfying read!

Mhm... I don't know... Somehow I just don't feel like finishing this one. Currently at about 25% and it's just boring...
The dialogues are... Well, yeah what dialogues? There are hardly any in there.
And the Kid? Pff, there aren't many scenes in which you actually get to know the little miss... She's in the scene but not really involved in a dialogue or anything.
And our hero? He is a drunk...
