As an avid historical fiction fan, I picked this book up hoping to learn a few things about renaissance Florence. Instead, I got a chick lit story set in an exotic locale.
The book wasnât exactly a let-down, but it was finished and quickly forgotten about. While I wouldnât urge you to stay away from it, any one looking for a serious work of historical fiction will be sorely disappointed.
