I could not stop reading this book
This book is enchanting.It is a lovely piece of literature.Though the violence does get quite gruesome toward the end,I strongly reccomend it to kids about 12 and up.This book almost actually made me cry.(that's hard to do) It gives you a taste of history(not like in a history book,but the bitter truth)Alice Hoffman is a brilliant writer.I think common sense should put up more of her books.

Wonderful book
A perfect combination of tragedy, romance, betrayal, mystery and history. Though the details in brutality are a bit harsh, it shows us more of what humanity had once been like and how, if we let it, could return to. It describes almost perfectly the beauty of love as well as the ugliness of jealousy and intolerance. And yet, through all her hardships, our heroine still manages to stay positive.

Sooooooooooooo Good!
This book was first reccomended to me by a woman in a book store. She said that someone had recomended it to her. Yes there is alot of volience in it, but it is telling the reader the history of that time. I usually read a book a week and this book only took me two days! the author tells the story soo well and I'll read this book over and over!
