I had high hopes for this book -- the subject and history matter had so much to offer. I was very disappointed. The author chose what I call a sell-ploytation -- choosing a subject, an interesting title, and then totally sell out. The characters were unbelievable, totally unlikeable, and plot was plodding, the connection to the historical context was virtually nonexistent, and the final hook, what I believe was the author got into print, was unbelieveable. What a waste of a historical setting and a sell out to those who wanted a believable novel of what actually happened in the advertised history. I give this novel zero stars. I have no idea how it got into print.
