Even though we had a sense of what was coming, I still held out hope that Robin's ending would not end as tragically as the Bard's. But that twist at the end (yes, everyone, there IS a twist!) was gut-wrenching and I cried!<br /><br />I know you were hesitant about the relocating of the story to Florence, but I'm so glad you liked the change of scenery and felt its Florentine characters added, rather than took away from the story. I can't wait to read your post on Verona and hear all about your childhood there!! Well done, Lucy!Allie ~ Hist-Fic Chickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01146943476204000055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-777060934365906420.post-36610869178584405142010-01-25T16:25:29.110-08:002010-01-25T16:25:29.110-08:00Great review, Lucy.

I also love that she used Lucrezia, who is a character in Signora da Vinci and for that reason the setting was perfect in Florence as well.Arleighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16283692274748044642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-777060934365906420.post-30776795491388292372010-01-25T11:22:44.690-08:002010-01-25T11:22:44.690-08:00Thanks for such an entertaining review.Thanks for such an entertaining review.brokenteepeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06907414560986208401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-777060934365906420.post-54316079421342718932010-01-25T08:10:45.614-08:002010-01-25T08:10:45.614-08:00Great review, the book does sounds so beautiful.
