Query: highly recommended

In all, enjoyable, readable, and sometimes surprising. There is an afterword acknowledging the embroidery of the truth.A raised eyebrow about the details prevents me from applauding the historical veracity of this novel. Nevertheless, the story told more than adequately compensates for this. As it is not meant to be a history, but historical fiction, the book succeeds admirably and is highly recommended.
