The historical aspect of the novel was what I enjoyed most. I don't know if I ever agreed with the Olympia/Haskell relationship. Sometimes I hoped they would remain apart and that she would live life alone. Just when I thought Olympia was too comfortable, an event would change her for the better and she learned from it. Perhaps the writing was a bit over-the-top, but the book as a whole was interesting.
