I'm a big fan of historical literature, so I really wanted to like this book. The historical details are good, but the story just didn't deliver. Allessandra, the protagonist is just not likable and doesn't seem real at all. Read this one just for the details on Rennaissance life. That's all that kept me going until the end.
