Denise's vision in this book is outstanding. And though flashbacks are not always helpful or entertaining, I found this book clever in its format. The backstory is so pertinent to the characters' personalities and motivations, that Denise really pulls it off when many writers couldn't do it nearly as well.This story will take you back centuries, while we modern folk find it hard to conceive of how hard life was then. Most of us never know what it is to starve or have to bow to the dictates of an evil master, or to a marriage contract arranged by a parent when you were younger than seven. Thank goodness!This book is so well done, you live the life and the language, smell the odors of unwashed humanity, and hear the sucking sounds as your flimsy shoes slog through mud and muck. If you desire to be transported and still keep your shoes clean, read this book. It's vivid in its imagery and authentically detailed. Where's the romance? Rob and Johanna will keep you on the edge of your seat, and make your heart swell with love. -Lee Emory
