Sins of the House of Borgia by Sarah Bower

2.0

A disappointment. My obsession with the Borgias rages on but this book is overlong and overwrought. An interesting set up, a converted Jewish woman in Lucrezia Borgia's household, leads to five-hundred pages of nothing. I wish I had given up, but once you've slogged through a third of the book, you feel honour-bound to finish in the hopes that things will look up. They didn't. A thousand wasted opportunities.
