I love history. However, I had never heard of the turbulent life of Lady Johane Mortimer but reading this book, I want more. Whilst the story already had its beginning, middle and end before any of us were alive, O'Brien still made it an enthralling tale. I devoured pages like a woman possessed. I was on the edge of my metaphorical seat the majority of the book, even after searching about Lady Johane and Lord Roger and their story. O'Brien has been able to open another door into history, for me, that I can now research and look into with the utmost interest.
