Readers with fond but not necessarily exhaustive memories of Pride and Prejudice will love this story, as will historical fiction readers looking for intelligent heroines with agency and heart who belong to their time and place without quite fitting in.

Although the length and painstakingly researched detail of this saga may be too much for most general readers, lovers of biography and those intrigued by dynastic and royal life should enjoy it. [See Prepub Alert, 12/7/13.]
