It's quite a long time since I read a Sara Paretsky's novel and now I have to add a lot of books to my TBR as I fell in love again with this story.
It's a gripping and entertaining story with a complex plot and a lot references to local and international politics.
Ms Paretsky is an excellent storyteller and I read this story till late in the night because I wanted to know what would happen.

I loved it and I was so engrossed by what I was reading that I lost sense of time and space as I was somewhere in 6th century Britain.
It wasn't love at first page, it grew slowly and at about 20% I was hooked and couldn't put it down.
I loved the characters as they are so well developed. Galahad was my favorite: a sort of reluctant hero that comes to accept himself and his history.
The plot is well crafted and the author is a great storyteller that created a plot gripping and entertaining.
I loved the descriptions of the era, realistic and vivid.
It was an excellent read and I loved every moment, strongly recommended.

I read "Grace Atherton" and loved it as much as I loved this story.
I love Anstey Harris' style of writing and her poignant and heart warming novels always touch some cords and make me cry as her characters are realistic and bring to memory some experience you lived.
This one was no exception. I loved Cate as she's a fleshed out and strong woman who has to face some big issues and discover some hidden strength in the change of scenery and lifestyle.
The other characters are also well thought and likeable.
I fell in love with the descriptions of the museum and the garden. They are vivid and I craved to the be there.
Ms Harris can surely write an engrossing story that will move you and keep you hooked till the end.
I strongly recommend it.
