a lovely mishmash of opinions interspersed with moments of clarity and vision by a vegan lesbian feminist mystery-loving, history-loving reader and writer.
 I gave this four stars not because the writing was spectacular or the plot particularly believable, nor because the first scene was a pretty silly depiction of a naked woman modeling for an art class, but because if you can suspend your belief in reality for a little while, and if you like adventure, you will have fun reading this book.
