4.0 out of 5 stars Complex but well done
The reader has to concentrate to follow the relationship between Naomi and Heloise and Abelard, but Tatelbaum is clever as she draws the reader into it. Read it if you want something you can sink your mind into.

1.0 out of 5 stars Wow...this book is bad.
I love the story of Abelard and Heloise and I really wanted to like this book. It is, however, contrived, self indulgent, and very poorly written. It was published by a vanity press, and the "Editorial Reviews" cited on Amazon's page appear to be Ms. Tattlebaum's collegues at Colby College. If you are interested in this type of book, I'd recommend Possession by A.S. Byatt...
