This book reads much like a historical war film, along the lines of "Braveheart." It is set in Northern Italy, along the French border. I learned a lot of history, as I had previously never heard of the Waldensian protestant group. It is rather graphic in its description of violence, but is otherwise an entirely clean read. Due to the fact that the sequence of events was not fictional, but also not widely known, I really did not know how the story would conclude the whole time. This book was difficult to put down and worth every evening I cut my sleep time short to read it!
