It's hard to rate a book like this that has such mixed qualities. a lot of it is pretty good and for most of the book I thought I would rate it four stars, but unfortunately a lot of the weaker writing comes toward the end, from my perspective. and then some of the false notes toward the end made me question some of what came before it. It's an engaging story. largely historical fiction but certainly romance as well. I always like stories about literate people who use their understanding of literature to understand themselves and the world around them.
