It is impossible to believe this is the first novel written by the author. The plot is tight, the characters are consistent and all their interactions further the story. I do not usually enjoy novels with layers of schemes and political intrigue but I could not put this novel down. I also appreciated that the plot did not follow the typical formula of many historical novels; strangers - fall in love - brief period of happiness - misunderstanding - long period of struggle - reconciliation with brief happiness or death. I highly recommend.
