I didn't care for the modern day parts very much at all, whilst I found the character sympathetic and would have liked to read it as a story in its own right. I just thought it took away from the historical storyline a bit and felt a lot shallower? The book seemed to drag a bit because of this sadly. I didn't not enjoy it though, just wished it to be a bit different.
