It was really quite a lovely read, especially if you like historical romance. This was written early in her career and was well researched. You need to understand that the copyright date was 1968, though. an be aware that the story nearly ignores the elephant in the room--slavery. The word "slave" is mentioned twice. Every other time they are "servants." and are, as was typical in that time (and before), portrayed as devoted and happy. Read it for the romance---
I have now started People of the Thunder, by W. Michael Gear and Kathleen O'Neal Gear. The is the second half of the story started in the last of their books I read, People of the Weeping Eye. It starts right where it left off, and gives enough exposition to help me remember the last book. This story may included some of their most fascinating characters yet.
