I received a free copy of this book through an online book blogging program. It sounded interesting - historical fiction, one of my favorite genres - though as I say often in book reviews, I usually read European historical fiction, not American, but that was why I wanted to read this - something different.

Unfortunately, the book is very slow, the pace is even slower, the characters were flat, one dimensional, & as other reviewers have written, not anyone you could even connect to.

The plot is interesting, the setting is interesting, the cover was pretty nice, but unfortunately, no matter how much I tried to get into the book, I couldn't. I skimmed over sections, hoping the pace would pick up & maybe I could get into it - and that just never happened. This was a book I never finished.
