This is a weird one -- I loved this book, and also didn't finish it. The history is SO fascinating and juicy, and the plot has such twists and turns that I was on the edge of my seat. But there's a point about halfway through where the bad guy is winning, and some of the spousal abuse that happens is so incredibly terrible, and also historically accurate, that I just didn't want to pick it up again. Reading it felt like punishing myself. And it's history, so it really happened to someone, and it just made me sad.
