This romantic mystery, told in the style of the late nineteenth century, is an entertaining fast read. The setting is "semi-barbaric" Galicia, which is in modern-day Poland. The author describes the Galician way of life and character based on her English background. It is worth reading to learn about a culture little-known and long past.
