I liked the The Ambassador's Women much better reading it for the second time, as I had a better grasp of what was happening. I have a mistrust of this-length and style of Catherine Gaskin's, after never having been able to finish Family Affairs and finding Promises, well, depressing. But this one is rather good, if one likes reading about 30 years in the lives of two families and the sagas that follow. It's quite interesting.
