This novel is dripping with mood. It envelopes the reader. I almost felt like I was there.
The plot was intriguing but moved along rather slowly. I was always ready for the next development long before it came along but had to wait through more descriptions of what the characters were eating, how much wine they were drinking, and who they were sleeping with today before it happened. A lot of questions remained unanswered or murky.
The relationships between Ines and the other characters developed in a natural and satisfying way.
