This surprisingly entertaining, exciting, and creative story of historical fiction was so well woven between events of the early twentieth century and the main characters, that this listener was enthralled by their gravity in depth and captured by the excellent written quality of the novel. This is in short, an incredibly compelling story that has multiple plot lines with very likable characters. It’s an amazing entertaining work.
