review 1: Generally an enjoyable read. I appreciated the detailed and accurate description of the Napoleonic wars. My quibbles seem to be directed largely at the characterization of the leads. It was odd to me that the men seemed to burst into hysterics at the slightest provocation. And the women were rather cold and unfeeling. To me, it seemed more strange than refreshing as I hoped. But they were at least self-aware of the fact I suppose. Also, the plot such as it was seemed a little too perfect; that the usual obstacles that one would expect for a regency romance are all too easily explained away.
review 2: Magnifique histoire. J'ai aimé retrouver une romance historique, surtout particulièrement bien documentée comme celle-ci, où l'on aborde aussi bien les moeurs
... morede la Gentry, les pratiques médicales que les Cent jours côté "ennemi" si je puis dire, savoir la coalition anglais/ prussiens/autrichiens. Ensuite, j'ai adoré les personnages, nuancés et complexes, et particulièrement la lente évolution de Tristan, vraiment touchant. Ainsi que le personnage de Charlotte, qui apporte à la fois alibi et équilibre à la relation amoureuse des deux hommes. Enfin, l'histoire elle-même est très belle, sensible, habilement développée, et d'une jolie plume. Un grand grand plaisir que la lecture de ce roman. less
