review 1: Another historical fiction foray (of course)! The characters were wonderfully written, Sophie does her best to stay strong despite setbacks. A definite reminder of the struggles that women had - total lack of independence, having to rely on men, and often being taken advantage of by those men. Yes, it had some very low depressing moments, ups and downs, but that's what makes a good story in my opinion.
