I liked this book. Although, I do wish I had known that it was more historical than romantic. The author obviously did her homework with regard to the cultural nuances of the time. It was an excellent description of the clash of two worlds. I just wish the love scenes had been described in more detail. I didn't quite feel the intense attraction between the two main characters.

She's a good writer, but this is long on history and short on romance.
