Pieni suuri romaani, jolla Waltari osoittaa mestaruuttaan kertojana. Historiallisten romaanien tapaan tämä vuonna 1944 ilmestynyt romaani heijastelee ennen kaikkea syntyaikansa mielialoja; sijoittamalla tapahtumat Porvoon valtiopäivien ja autonomian synnyn aikaan Waltari on kenties voinut lausua julki sellaista, mikä ei valvontakomission aikaisessa Suomessa olisi muuten ollut mahdollista.
