Review
A gripping saga of great passion ... sustained, impassioned and uplifting (The Times)
An absorbing epic ... as splendid a ripping yarn as any of the best classics (Daily Telegraph)
A gripping, deeply accomplished work (Evening Standard)
I loved it ... Bragg's stately, seething, passionate epic is several cuts above modern attempts at historical fiction (Literary Review)
A beguiling entry into a society strange, neglected, important, tragic in many of its triumphs (Spectator)
Wonderfully evocative, passionate and erudite ... No summary could do justice to a book of this erudition, romance and scope (Glasgow Herald)
