This was a very enjoyable read. The author’s descriptive skills are amazing. I have rarely seen metaphors used so effectively. Beyond the story, I felt that the book gave a strong feel for what life was like in the 16th Century. A surprisingly familiar concept was the occasional shut down of all the theatres etc. in London to contain the spread of plague.
The story is fairly simple, but has multiple layers of significance, which leans to the abrupt, but logical ending to the book.
