A well written, highly researched, historical drama. It leaves you wanting to find out more about this time period and the major issues in it. Part of my ancestry is French Huguenot. Eventually some of the family migrated to the U.S. I found the story to be very compelling and a great read. The author takes you back and puts you right there at that period. Wonderful historical fiction. This story has it all - love, religious persecution, mystery - you name it. They are fast paced and intriguing books that are historically accurate. The characters are believable and sympathetic, I found myself immersed in the books and hardly able to put them down.
