really liked it
bookshelves: poland, 18th-century

This book is a very good historical novel that captures the imagination while keeping true to the era in which it is set. All the aspects that make an exciting read and with the heroic female in the lead role. A story of family tragedies, love, jealousy, war and a spirit that rises to the occasion.
