Review:

A great adventure, powerfully told (Philippa Gregory)

Miss Seton's enthusiasm for both character and period is infectious. Katherine emerges a glowing, vital figure (Daily Telegraph)

Anya Seton takes us into other worlds, making us live for a few hours on a grand scale (Women's Journal )

Perhaps the greatest gifts Anya Seton brings to her historical novels are the zest of her narrative, the life she breathes into the most insignificant characters, and the atmosphere of the era she evokes around them (Books and Bookmen)

Brilliant historical construction ( Evening News)

Wonderful historical novels (Alison Weir)
