"4.5 stars.
I thought this historical fiction story, based on true events, was mostly well written and very well told. You can tell that the author deeply researched the time period, customs, and people portrayed as she approached the facts and events " Read more of this review » |

“To die, - To sleep, - To sleep!
Perchance to dream: - ay, there's the rub;

When we have shuffled off this mortal coil,
Must give us pause: there's the respect
That makes calamity of so long life;”
― Hamlet

“The unfamiliar stirrings of liberty—and desire—took me by surprise. They didn't just appear overnight. They were much more cunning that that. They snuck in the back door of my soul and quietly took up residence.”
