These are all verifiable with minimal research effort. The Rothschild family characters are correct. Many of the relationships formed by Meir (Mayer) Rothschild are also historically documented as are those of the sons. The personal interactions, relationships, emotions and conversations woven throughout the book are the fictional components that bring the historical context to life. In my opinion, this is a very interesting book. Compelling to read and I was sorry to have it end.(less)
