This heroine is truly heroic (The Times )

Mary Sutter is a satisfyingly complex character; a tempestuous mixture of touching vulnerability and courageous single-mindedness (Marie Claire )

Riveting. The language is beautiful and the story will keep you on the edge of your seat throughout (Herald Tribune )

Extraordinary. Vivid, intelligent and expertly told (Woman & Home )

Outstanding...an intimate yet wide-ranging portrait of the chaos, ineptitude, and heartbreak of wartime. This impressive historical epic deserves a large readership (Booklist (USA) )
