Interesting historical read

I new nothing of the Clark family and their legacy on America. Huguette seems like she was a sweet and wonderful woman who was incredibly creative and artistic. She was also eccentric. I have mixed feelings concerning her will and the disputes regarding it. I enjoyed this book a lot.

I like historical novel to get a feel for the conditions and attitudes  of the time period. I know not all the facts are accurate but it was a good read.

A good read if you are interesting in history which is well researched by the author.  I finished the book without putting it down as the author did a good job keeping my attention.

This was a wonderful historical read.  Very true to events and people of the time. This book sets a great pace and does not have fluff chapters to show off a very in-depth knowledge of the time period. The beginning of the book has a "reference" section about the historical people listed.  It is hard to flip back and forth between that section and the reading section. It can be a little hard for people that are not familiar with items or terms of this time in history.  An English/French translation dictionary may be needed. The regular Kindle dictionary does have several of the French and antiquated words and terms used in the book.

I enjoyed this book.  It's historical setting is interesting and helps the plot along.  The characters are well developed, and the end was surprising.

I was only interested in three of the historical figures, yet the book was interesting throughout. Each chapter was short enough to keep my attention on the figures I wasn't. I enjoyed this book.

interesting insight to the time and how things may have been, especially taking into account the time frame of history. Enjoyed reading the "fleshing out"  of people of  the time period. Thoughtfulness in the hearing and knowing the Eternal one. A good read.

I enjoyed this book - The War of 1812 through the eyes of the Brit.  Not the most historical I've ever read, but little tidbits of information kept it very interesting.

Overall, I enjoyed this book and look forward to reading series.

It took a while to capture my interest and I almost quit the book a few chapters in. But it builds to an interesting read.

I wish it was more historically accurate and the author had developed the characters more.

I have hope that I will see more depth as I continue the serie.

Found the historical part interesting and disturbing at the same time. The characters were well developed and the story kept your interest and kept you turning the pages. I'd recommend this book as a good read.

I enjoyed this book and had trouble putting it down.  Although it's historical fiction, there were many true events in the book.

I enjoyed this read, but there were several sections that were a bit too graphic for my taste.  It was an interesting book worth reading.

The novel kept my interest throughout the book. I liked the way historical events were woven into the story. I will look for other books by Brennert.
