Well, I can't say I wasn't warned! Sue told me it wasn't my kind of book, but I was stubborn and ordered it anyway. The subject, and all the names mentioned made me curious.
However, I found it very hard going. I like stories and this is more like a sociological study. I only managed to read the first few chapters, then gave up. I have just been leafing throught the book and found it hard to keep concentrating on a text that is so full of names, quotes and references.
For those who like this sort of study there are reviews to be found on the blog Caught by the River and in History Today
