Ok, I have to say that I have rarely read a historical novel with a heroine as irritating as this one. She is constantly whining (in her head) about how no one will believe her so she keeps the truth of what happened to her to herself and causes lots of problems because of it. Even after she sees that other women don't fear men's sexuality, she's still somehow convinced that ALL men are beasts. She is either very naive or very stupid, I was never able to figure out which it was. And then there's Simon who is convinced she's lying (when she finally tells him the truth) even though she already told him her story in a round about way.
I know that authors need misunderstandings for their plots, but I think that Lowell could have done this in a little more intelligent manner.
