Beverly
Swerling is my birth name and I've been writing under that name for over a decade. I'm also Beverly Byrne (don't ask) and Beverly S. Martin (legit - I've been married to Bill Martin for a fair amount of time).

Excellent as usual, second only to City of God in the writing and character development. I'm sad to have reached the last book in the series, and will wait for the next one to come out.

So far, the best one of her 5 book series. Funny, enthralling, and vivid, without pages and pages of boring politics and history minutia like the first two. The chinese women's language was often funny and the characters held my attention right to the very end. I can only hope that the next two are written as well.

Excellent! I thoroughly enjoyed all the gory parts about surgery in the 1700's...and felt strongly for the characters. Much better than her first one..there was too much politics in that one. This one had a better mix of politics and authentic NY history.

Took me forever to read it. I kept losing interest and putting it down and reading a different book before coming back to it again. I am glad that I did finish it but the ending left me unsatisfied.
