Media Reviews

Vivid description, elegant sentences, diligent research - the highly readable Liberty Bazaar has it all, proving that David Chadwick is the real deal, a serious writer with a serious talent. -Nicholas Royle, author of First Novel and Regicide. Liberty Bazaar is a joy to read. It plunges us straight into the nefarious doings of the American Civil War, through the distinctive voices of its two protagonists, Trinity Giddings and Jubal de Brooke. David Chadwick's sense of place and time is extraordinary, and he throws an entertaining slant on a complex and fascinating period of history. The writing is lyrical, lavishly detailed and witty, too. This is an immersive, powerful historical novel - one impossible to put down. -Sherry Ashworth, author of Good Recipes and Bad Women and Mental
