Really good historical novel

I thought this was one of the best books I've ever read. Good storytelling, exiting plotline and well-developed characters. I would highly recommend it, as I already have recommended it to my mom, sister and aunt. I read a previous 1992 edition from Headline Books which had a very high number of typographical errors, which annoys me when I'm immersed in the story. Hopefully those circa 50 typos were spotted and corrected for this 1993 edition from another publishing house.
