Sprawling, leisurely paced novel set in the early eighteenth century about the plots to put James III on England's throne. The sequel to Through a Glass Darkly, Barbara, Lady Devane, continues to grow after losing her innocence, her brother, her husband, and her home. I wanted to like this more than I did--her time spent in the colony of Virginia had resonance for her character, but the visit felt temporary and lacking. The romance didn't pick up till the last quarter, the same time the plot did, and was disappointingly treated rather sketchily.
