very interesting book that I wouldn't have gotten through if it wasn't part of my book club.
had to read it with a Latin dictionary on the side. lots to look up. really beautiful in the precision of how this is written, of the word choices. learned a lot about the different meaning of matrix.
I really love a historical retelling, but this was just so much abject suffering at the beginning, it was really hard to push through for some happy pay offs.
