Review
"Matton's novel has been assiduously researched, and she memorably evokes the cruelties and hardships of everyday life 300 years ago." (Mail on Sunday)
"Matton has created a work of incredible beauty, juxtaposing the darkness of a society riddled with Black Death with the passion shared by the painter and his muse." (Bizarre)
"A precious alloy of human interest, detailed historical research and inspired sensitivity to Rembrandt's work . . . the writing is as careful and subtle as the master's paintings." (Magazine Litteraire, France)
