Very good solid read for "lovers" of historical fiction...
For anyone interested in the infamous Don Juan, or historical fiction in general, this novel is a good solid read. While at times the seduction of Sevilla's women gets slightly repetitive, you are bound to be swept away by the honest passion of the lovers, the romantic city, or the uncertainty and mystery of the age in which Don Juan may have lived. Running across Sevillian rooftops in a black mask to escape jealous husbands and fathers, masquerading at balls, associating intimately with nuns and prostitutes, while doing everything in his power to evade the Inquisitioner, Don Juan certainly has the reader entertained from page one. However, the most turbulent dilemma he faces at the heart of this novel is whether he can in fact ever love one woman....and you'll have to read through to the end to find out!
