This historical novel about the Borgias gets bogged down in places. Sarah Dunant has written several novels about Italy during the Renaissance. I enjoyed her earlier novels, The Birth of Venus and In the Company of the Courtesan much better. I think that one needs a better history lesson of the Borgias and the events of Italy during the late 1400s and early 1500s to really enjoy this book.
