I really enjoyed this read. I wouldn’t say it’s for everyone - its prose is deeply entrenched in the period and can be quite dense - but it is so different from other historical fiction that it was a breath of fresh air. Loved the characters, loved the mystery, loved the historical conflicts. Very well written!
