I really enjoyed this one as well. You're so right, it was slow, but it completely fit the book. .-= S. Krishna´s last blog ..The Girl Next Door – Elizabeth Noble =-.

I'm so glad to hear you liked this one so much. I received an unrequested copy awhile back, and I wasn't sure what to make of it. I know nothing about this period in history, but it sounds fascinating. .-= Anna´s last blog ..SEARCHING FOR PEMBERLEY by Mary Lydon Simonsen =-.

Sounds really good and I think it's a logical step in what I think of as her Italian sequence. Italian convents came up a little when I was studying as there's a bit of a debate about how much convents were really hotbeds of sedition and how much this was a wild exageration of people who wanted to restrict the independence of nuns. Love Sarah Dunant by the way, wonder if this will top 'In the Company fo the Courtesan'. .-= Jodie´s last blog ..Bookworms Carnival 44 - Call for Submissions =-.

She seems to be an author focused on convents? I read The Birth of Venus sometime ago, and that also featured the heroine going into a convent. Curious to know if this is just a coincidence, or is this a recurring theme in her novels... .-= Nish´s last blog ..Reading Challenge Status and New Reading Challenges =-.

I really enjoyed this one too. I agree that the pacing was slow in parts, but it did seem to add to the atmosphere and mood of the story, and so I didn't mind it either. .-= Alyce´s last blog ..The Chunkster Challenge 2010 =-.

Thank you for your great review, Meghan. I’ve been wanting to read this one. I enjoyed The Birth of Venus by the same author.

I'm not sure this sounds like the book for me, but I can see how the subject would be fascinating. .-= heidenkind´s last blog ..Guest Post Plus Giveaway!! =-.
