I was drawn in by the cover even before I turned the first few pages. Its elegance and simplicity appeal to me. After reading the first thirty pages in retrospect, it feels perfectly appropriate for the plot.
Although I haven't read it, I am aware of Stacey Hall's prior work. In addition, I haven't read a lot of historical literature. But after reading the first thirty pages of this book, I'm eager to read more about both. I'm interested in the writing style since it transports me to the period the book is set in, and I like the descriptions. It also appears to fit the genre. In addition, I really liked Martha's introduction and would want to read more about the other characters.
