Interesting historical perspective of the reign of Charles I, the protectorate, and the return of Charles II in England. The parts of the story that were set in Virginia also gave an even broader view of life in those times.

However, I'd have to say that a quarter of the way through the book, I was fed up with the main character - he wasn't sure which cause he believed in, which king he should follow, which wife or which country was his. I guess that was the device the author used to give you the opportunity to see both sides, but I found it a distraction.

Overall, not bad, but not her best book.
