The cover is visually stunning and pulls you in before you have even started reading,the descriptions are beautifully written and paint a vivid picture in your head. I can picture every detail of the architecture and the lavish rooms and I can see clearly the extravagant characters. She takes you back to the past and engulfs you in all the sights,sounds and smells.
There is a poignant view of mothers with their babies bundled at their breasts,lining up to show them off as if they were livestock at a farmers market,there is a sharp contrast between the surroundings they are in and the purpose for which they are there. I thoroughly enjoyed this excerpt and I greatly look forward to reading the rest of the book.
