This book was ok but not as good as "I, Mona Lisa" by the same author - and certainly nowhere near as good as Phillipa Gregory's Tudor series. It was slow at the beginning but picks up around the middle and it was interesting. However, I was very turned off by the graphic depictions of child rape, the raping of several women, and the two cases of incest in the book. I realize things like this may have happened but I didn't want to read about it.
