Media Reviews
[A] rich adventure, the kind of long, lush, thoughtful page-turner many of us crave but rarely get our hands on -- Beverly Lowry * New York Times *
The best novel I've read this year -- Rose Tremain * Independent *
A powerful, atavistic book...full of threat and mystery. Wonderful strong stuff * Lisa Cody *
