Reviews
“A narrative of great economy and surprising depth, authenticity and excitement. Miss Holland exhibits sure command of her material, a rich imagination, and a precision of tone that is equaled by few writers.” —Eliot Fremont-Smith, The New York Times
“Miss Holland’s style is simple, almost stark.
She belongs to that small band of writers who can still show us what distinction the historical novel can attain.” —Times Literary Supplement
“Full of action and imaginative twists of plot. A considerable achievement.” —New York Times Book Review
