Hi guys and thanks for buying books. It was on the Wall Street Journal list on Friday and Publisher's Weekly list (a mag for bookstores and publishers) and the NY Times collects information from bookstores and chains all across the country.
And let's see, who do I like best? Well, I do like Alexander, though he's steeped in treachery and I do like Lucrezia's ability to adapt and endure and smile past all the disasters that befall her. I also like that she's not a wimp and doesn't dislike men after all they do to her, but Cesare...I feel bad for him. He was as much a pawn as she was, and yet they are all heroic in a way. Because it was, after all, a time like this, when terror was all around and they could die in a minute through betrayals or attacks.
