A wonderful story. A bit too many coincidences in parts but heartwarming characters.
I guess it's a bit of Mills & Boone romance, but with an historic base story.

Too much death
I have never read a book where so many characters died. Too many. The story seemed to go from death to death. I did finish it but wondering if I will try any more of Di Morrissey.
