This movie does it all for me, my favorite period piece drama, best period costumes, fantastic soundtrack and so much more to list. This movie really takes you through a journey of 1700's-1800's Europe and flows through so many different settings so well. There is never a dull moment. The acting paired with the music was brilliant also.

If you like period pieces you will like this series. When I ordered it I had forgotten that I had already seen it. But the story is so good and the acting, scenery, entire production is so good that I sat right through the whole series end to end....again. Of course, if you have seen the Pillars film you will surely want to see this sequel.

The realistic period descriptions really take you back in time.  Few editorial errors but did not affect reading too much.

I enjoy period mysteries and female protagonists written from a female perspective.  This mystery filled all my wants in such a story.  I found it to be well researched for the period and well crafted for the mystery.  A good read.

This is an excellent example of a great historical novel.  The author's description and use of the climate, fauna, and very wildness of New England in the 1680's is good.  The main characters are three dimensional and make you like them.  The sexual content is really one or two scenes.

I understand why it's a classic. Very good period piece. I read it on my vacation and was not disappointed.

I love this time period of English history. There are definitely artistic licenses taken in the telling of the story, but overall, very well done.

This was a charming period piece with well drawn characters, well acted that works well on many levels.  It was, however, NOT Downton Abbey.  It did highlight many of the universal hipocrasies of our society, then and now.  Love, jealousy, social climbing are always good, particularly when packaged in such lovely surroundings.

I really love period movies , this one was a good look at the last few days of the Queens life and how her servants felt about her and the times they lived in.  She was some what of a political figure of her times, and it seems she had a lot of enemies around her at all times.  I found this movie very true of her sad life , kudos to the film makers.

I thought this was an excellent read. It features an interesting story and a well rounded group of characters. I found the end to be slightly anti-climatic but overall I recommend this book to anyone enjoys period pieces that are semi non-fiction.
