Well-written and interesting. There were far too many characters for me to keep track of, and on the whole it was too romantical for the likes of me. I found the historical aspects very interesting. I liked the indomitable old woman, and loathed the whiny Donald. I hated the ending with a fierce and fiery passion.

I read this book a few years ago at my local library, and after reading it I promptly forgot the title and author. I have spent the past few years trying to remember, since I remembered everything else about the book. This book has haunted my dreams with its compelling and refreshing story. I do not read many time-travel novels, but this book was definitely one of my favorites. The historical period the main character travels to is very detailed and interesting to read about--and the plot takes a few turns I did not expect it to. Though this book is relatively unknown, it is definitely a book worthy of a few hours of devotion. I wasn't looking for any deep meanings in this book, and I got a fun and highly enjoyable novel. ( )
