"[A] marvelous medieval pageant of a novel. . .Another jewel in [Penman's] already glittering crown."--Orlando Sentinel "Penman once again tells a tale of kings and queens, singular destinies, and double-crosses. . . .[She] inventively animates a large cast [and] continues to base her narrative on the firm ground of fact."--Kirkus Reviews
"A COMPELLING, WELL-WRITTEN EPIC...Penman is an accomplished novelist and certainly has staked a claim to medieval England as her literary fiefdom."--Philadelphia Inquirer
