I continue to be impressed with Graham Salisbury's novels. It has been a while since I have read his works but after completing this novel, I intend to make up for lost time.
Salisbury creates complex characters who wrestle with major ethical issues through real historical events.
I wish I could write a more detailed review but unfortunately, too much time has passed since I read the novel and I neglected to write down notes while I read. (That's the life of a teacher for you.)

Great book

Easy to read, well thought out story line. The character was very loveable and I even found myself shedding a few tears during my reading. I read the book from cover to cover in under 6 hours.
