Great book! Lots of plot twists and once again, we learn deception is always a bad strategy. The title sounds like a "bodice ripper" romance, but that's not at all what the book is about.

It's been 20 years since I read this book the first time and I was reading it for book club and still loved it! It's a beautifully written story of friendship and perseverance among a very challenging culture. I hope to read it again in 20 years.
