I so enjoy John Jakes. And I got an extra tickle from this one because he refers to a few of his other books in it. ( )

Once more, John Jakes gives us a novel where a man happens to love a beautiful but evil woman, which causes great unhappiness, and her evil evil blood passes down the generations, while the hero's blood are all noble and good and gay.
