I have recently discovered Jane Feather and I like her. This book though is more for the History Student and Literature kind of person. I myself am just a simple housewife and mom and if I have to search the dictionary more than three times to know what the author is saying or learn to speak french than I have lost all interest. I just want a simple historical romance with perhaps a little history to set the scene but too much of anything is no good. I don't speak french and I didn't study old english so it was quite unenjoyable to read this book. Also, it was nice and very well done of Jane Feather to be so accurate to the times but if the buyer of the book doesn't understand it what good is her accuracy?
