Rezensionen

Praise for Philippa Gregory:

"The eighteenth-century woman is a neglected creature but, in the figure of her heroine, Philippa Gregory has defined a certain kind of wildness...This is a novel written from instinct, not out of calculation, and it shows.' Peter Ackroyd, The Times

'For sheer pace and percussive drama it will take a lot of beating.' Sunday Times

'Gregory's research is impeccable which makes her imaginative fiction all the more convincing.' Daily Mail

'A story of violent love and unsettling passions. It will never let you rest for a page as you wait for the climax that must come for the people and the land.' Maeve Binchy

'Subtle and exciting.' Daily Express
