Excerpt:
The reviewer ends her review by concluding that They Went to Portugal is, above all, a diplomatic work, unequivocally meritable, well written, a diplomatic work, full of fair play and humane concerns. All of that and more: it is not only the best attempt till now to depict the way two widely different countries socialized during eight centuries, but also a very pleasant means of conveying the inexplicable attraction that down the ages, and still today, makes nothing comparable to the English surrendered to the charms of Portugal.
