review 1: I had a very difficult time finishing this book. The book moved so slowly, and really did not hold my interest for very long. I never like to quit on a book, and I did not quit on His Last Duchess, but I wanted to. I would have loved to read more about the broken relationship between Alfonso and Lucrezia or about Lucrezia and Jacomo's love affair, but I felt as though I only got half the story from both relationships.
review 2: Excellent historical fiction about Lucrezia di Medici and her husband Alfonso II, the Duke of Ferrara. Their marriage was twisted; more that HE was twisted and she loved another who she later left for. Kimm does an excellent job making the reader feel as if they themselves are there and writes the story in such a way that you keep turnin
... moreg the pages as fast as you can read. I definitely recommend this to those who enjoy a good historical fiction novel about someone in history. less
