Review:
"An extraordinary novel.... Readers will surely welcome its author to the ranks of our greatest living story-tellers." -- The Literary Review
"I'm grateful to Fleming for reminding me just how exciting a good novel can be." -- Sue Baker, Publishing News
"White Blood is more than this, but it is first of all a meticulously researched act of reconstruction.... The narrative, the dialogue and the intensity of Doig's emotions drive the story to a savage climax that reads like a modern thriller. It is the best sort of historical novel." -- The Spectator
"A historical novel with the right kind of hero: virile, ruthless, adventurous.... The description of the estate and its inhabitants, the nearby village and the distant rumours of war and revolution are all superbly handled." -- The Independent
"Beautifully written, with baroque energy and style." -- The Daily Telegraph
"Moving and gripping....Fleming captures the contradictions of the period and the rich flavours of elegance and terror compellingly. This is a tense, thrilling and at times darkly comic novel with a complex central character who, in the best passages, bursts off the page." -- Time Out
"Crackling, flamboyant...[White Blood] is funny, sad and magical." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review)
