review 1: I enjoyed reading this book and found that once I had got started I couldn't put it down. The story follows Ann who is a very headstrong girl/woman and her relationship with not only the poet John Donne which is mentioned on the back of the book and in the title, but also the relationship with her family. It was an interesting story to read and even though it is set in the reign on Elizabeth I it is little mentioned apart from every now and again so it does not follow the strong relationship with the queen which many books set in this time period do.
review 2: The most impressive thing about this novel is the writing style. Maeve Haran easily captures something similar to the prose and diction of the Elizabethan age that she is writing about, and this helps to ... moreconvey the aspects and mood of the story better 21st century style would have. Ann is a likable, believable and relatable character and Haran's portrait of Donne makes it very easy to believe that she would have risked all to be with him. there are a few slow points here and there, but in general a fantastic read! less
