Lawd, what a yawn fest! Got through about a third of the book then picked up again at the last few chapters. Nope, didn't miss anything. Maybe it's because I'm not particularly drawn to this period, but I've raved over some of her earlier books and thought I'd give this one a try too. Disappointing. I didn't find it an inspiring testament of the human spirit, only a whole lot of dull. I suggest you try instead The Lighthouse Keeper's Daughter, A Memory of Violets, or The Girl Who Came Home.
