I Know, Sarah, the research must have been such hard work. I'm doing the same thing with the historical novel I'm working on at the moment, I think it will take me twelve years to finish!

Martina managed to get that period feel without weighing the story down too much; she really made you feel you were 'in' the period and the characters were so alive and believable. Well done Martina!
