Did you find Gwen's revelation about her ex-lover and scandalous pregnancy to be surprising? How do you think that experience colored her relationship decisions from that point forward? Do you thinks he would have lost as much if she had been a man?

Before he makes off with the fake jewels, the Chevalier tells Jane, "[...] I do not need to tell you how very much I wish the circumstances might have been otherwise." Could they have had something romantic together if they didn't play for opposite teams?

What parallels can be drawn between the historical and modern-day story lines? Do the modern and historical characters play off one another? What are the similarities between the couples? What are the differences?

What did you think about Gwen's novel, "The Convent of Orsino"? Is this a book you would be interested in reading? Do you think it would have been well received by readers at that time?
