I don't often read book that have graphic sexual violence in them. I find them really difficult to get through. I had no idea this book would have something like that in it, and once I started I couldn't stop going forward with it.
I wound up liking this book a lot. Really, really loved the main character. She was fantastic. A strong, independent woman ... in a time when women weren't allowed to be strong and independent. Also, Rosalyn Landor, the narrator, was superb. She really made the book come alive for me.
I'd have given this book 5 stars if it wasn't for her lover. I must say, he annoyed me so much. I was not a fan of his, and was disappointed to see that they actually fell in love. I didn't think he was the partner for her.
Other than that, the book was superb.

I loved this audio book! I am usually hesitant about long audio books (11 cds) as I listen on my commute and don't want to forget where the story was over the weekend. No problem - the story fascinated me, I was sitting in my car during lunch and then over the weekend I was still thinking about and longing to get back in the car to listen to it more! Great description of place and history, fully realized characters, humor, suspense - my favorite audio book since The Thirteenth Tale.
