I'm reading this right now and am enjoying it so far. Haven't got to the sex yet, though, so I can't comment on that aspect of the book. .-= Anna´s last blog ..And the winners are... =-.

I agree that this was an epic read! It’s great when a book of this length does not seem long. It was so hard to decide weather I wanted Jane with Alex or Thomas…what a horrible situation. I just reviewed Island of the Swans over on my blog, along with an interview with the author, if you want to check it out here is the link “http://muse-in-the-fog.blogspot.com/2010/02/book-review-island-of-swans-by-ciji.html”

Great review Meghan! I too really enjoyed this novel. It was hard to put down and I can’t wait to read more from her!

Group dynamics and a sweeping epice. I completely agree. I never thought about the sex aspect, it just seemed to go with the territory for me. Maybe I have read too many romance novels lately Overall I enjoyed this as well. Great review Meghan

I loved this one when I read it years ago. I went on to read the rest of her books and am glad she is finally publishing another after 10 years. .-= Stacy´s last blog ..Fave Film #23 – Silence of the Lambs (1991) =-.

She likes Alex, especially at first – they would have been fine if Thomas hadn’t turned up again. He’s sometimes cruel, but he clearly loves her and is just jealous. It’s an interesting dynamic!

This book seriously sounds like it would make me cry. You should have seen me after The Duchess.

I'm not really fond of historical fiction that is chock-full of sex, so I think I'll skip this one, even though it sounds interesting. .-= Jen - Devourer of Books´s last blog ..The Time Traveler’s Guide to Medieval England – Book Review =-.

I love that you used the word bawdy, that is a history lover's word right there. The premise sounds good with a slightly irregular love triangle. Does she love Alex at all, or is it your typical cruel husband saga? .-= Jodie´s last blog ..Race, History and Steampunk =-.

Hmmmm....bawdry! I can probably just skim those parts if the historical fiction aspect is worth it! .-= Julie P.´s last blog ..Book Club Exchange - Robin Maxwell =-.
