Review:
A sweeping and marvellously evocative story, with page after page of authentic detail (Booklist)
It is Saylor's particular skill to sketch the political intrigues of the time with great authenticity... the sense that murky, terrible things are moving secretly beneath the surface of a fairly benign exterior increases in this brilliant novel (San Francisco Review of Books)
