[Heather · Rating 3 out of 5]

I love Maggie Sefton's knitting series and was so excited to read something different from her. Most of this book was very good, though it took me awhile to read it as there is a lot of details and not a lot of action. Except all of a sudden there is a lot of action and it's over. The build up kind of dragged compared to the climax, which went too smoothly, I thought. I would still recommend this book if you like historical fiction but don't have very high expectations that this will measure up to her other books.
