The book is based on a very lean historical basis. The vast of it is fictional and historically inaccurate, to say the least. I don't understand why using real figures in such a case. Clearly, in our bookclub group certain members took the fictional events as real. I dont blame them, it can be very confusing. In addition the fictional story is very simplistic, an always good carachter vs. an always nasty carachter. Life is more complicated than that.
