This is a hard book, dark, disturbing in a number of ways. People do dark things, some to survive, some because they can.Â
Not an easy read, but I do now know more about the Russo-Swedish war, the Swedish royal family, and Stockholm in the 1790s - which is enough for me to know that I am very glad not to have lived in Stockholm in the 1790s.Â
Good book, well told, but definitely need something lighter now.Â
