I don't know much about the real Lord Byron, but he's been fictionalized in at least two novels I've read in the past couple of years and he's always portrayed as a bit odd.Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08046635675540466183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5434452527977390355.post-89293570764145382912011-08-17T10:08:14.529-04:002011-08-17T10:08:14.529-04:00I find it strange that as a lover of historical fi...I find it strange that as a lover of historical fiction this book has not appealed to me (and that was before I read your review).

Sometimes a book and reader just don't click. I've heard a lot of good things about this book and I like David Liss's other work, so I'm looking forward to giving it a shot. And now I'm curious to see if I experience some of what you did! So, thanks for the chance to win a copy!Gwendolyn B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03306180985189176946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5434452527977390355.post-73888566929808884582011-08-16T11:43:10.760-04:002011-08-16T11:43:10.760-04:00This book does sound good.
