Hadrian's Wall

I really enjoyed the historical aspects and motivations of our characters and I enjoyed the ending a lot. not something I usually read but I'm glad I tried something new.

Interesting take on a noble woman's adventures on both sides of the wall. Slow getting started but picked up eventually.

I wish I could have enjoyed this book more. Dietrich treats the era well, and the idea of the Wall is relevant to our times, reminding one of the Berlin Wall and of the current American debate over the Fence on the Mexican Border.

As a Texan, and as a fan of Historical Fiction, I expected more about a collision of peoples and ideas and less of a romance novel.

Nevertheless, all characters were treated fairly and the plot was well developed. I will read more of Dietrich's work, but I do hope he gives up as a romance writer.

Surprisingly well written, fascinating story. A glimpse into England and the Celtic-pagan world of 350AD. Wonderful.
