review 1: For the sake of friends that may read this in the future, I won't go into much detail about my thoughts on this book and just make them vague. Why have I been writing my thoughts down so much lately, though? Anyway, this book was not how I thought it would be as far as subject/content, writing style, or length (for some reason I had thought it was on the average size but it is a more lengthy tome). For a while I was thinking it would only have three stars until I realized how much I had fallen in love with the characters and story. In the past I think I gave some "guilty pleasures" lower scores but this one seems like it should have a higher score.Also, I was very good and avoided going after what was real and what was not until after I had finished. This area is one ... moreof my passions (thank you to Jean Plaidy and her Georgian Saga!) and going into it I felt like I had a little more knowledge than most. I was quite shocked to learn how wrong I was after fact checking at the end! Move over Georgiana, Duchess of Devonshire, there's a new duchess in town!
review 2: An okay book about a woman (and time period) I knew nothing about. However, I felt that what made her so fascinating (being involved in politics at a time when women did not do so) played a minor role compared to the love triangle. And the plot revolving around the love triangle was repetitive and got tiresome. And to top it off, I wasn't satisfied with the ending. All in all I enjoyed reading this, but it's not high on my list of great reads. less

One of my absolute all-time favorite books. Beautifully written, poignant love story.

I expected a bit more history in this novel. Nevertheless, it was entertaining.

Great historical fiction-romance. I will keep this book in rotation!

If you love Outlander by Diana Gabaldon, definitely pick this up!

Not sure how accurate it is but great historical fiction.
