A review by melerihaf
All Other Nights by Dara Horn

3.0

It was very solidly ok. The thing that bothers me most about historical fiction is that sometimes, the author stretches so that the characters can be in as many historical situations as possible, and then it just gets silly. Also, any book that has the line, "He didn't regret that he had more than one kiss to give for his country." cannot be take seriously. On the other hand, it was a very different perspective, and one that I enjoyed reading about. I just wish that my local library had a biography of Judah Benjamin, because he sounds fascinating.
