Media Reviews
Intelligent, clearly written, and, perhaps inevitably, heart-rending ... Burge is rather in love with Heloise himself: she writes, thinks and feels exquisitely -- Murragh O'Brien * Independent on Sunday *
Burge opens up this tale with great sympathy and directness -- Frances Spalding * Daily Mail *
Burge is excellent at empathy. He keeps you alive to the agony of Abelard ... [and] makes a moving, likeable document of an extraordinary love. -- Alice Ferrebe * Scotland on Sunday *
The most striking part of the book is its modernity ... Burge achieves something truly difficult: he reminds us that, for Abelard and Heloise, their world was as new, risky and unpredictable as ours is. -- Ann Wroe * Sunday Times *
A great story -- Douglas Johnson * The Spectator *
