Complete!! Yes, I'm done, and it was so good! I totally recomend this book to those who think they can get through it, so I would say... maybe Smart Teen- Middle agged Adult would be best.
History Lesson!!
The Borgias (The Step-Mom and her brother) were real. The two people mentioned Lucrezia and Cesare (Step-Mom and brother) were real, though they had siblings that were omitied in the story, the Borgias relationship with the de Nevada family was fictional, as were the de Nevada family. The Bogias were royalty. They were intensely corupt royalty, with rumors of incest, murder, adultry, hedonism, nepotism and striking beauty. They were known to be either poor rulers or fair rulers depending on when in history you look.
Even some of the places in the book were real too, but only small symbloic places. The author, Gregory Maguire took a part of his life to leave his home and family to go and study for more authenticity from his novel. The book also weaves the od original tales from Italy and Germany and makes this modern book a timeless classic.
