  • Excellent.

    This is the second time I am reading this book. First time was a small paperback, small print, almost went blind trying to read it. Book has history, it’s compelling, informative.

  • Great books!

    I read the 1st book in the series years ago. Then I found out there was a series so I purchased all 3 so I could read the 1st one again and then read the other 2. Both of my grown daughters want to read them when I’m done.

  • Great historical fiction

    Great value for the money. I had read this years ago and had loaned my copy out and it was never returned. Now that the series is longer I had wanted to read it from the beginning and this was one of two missing books.
