"Weir turns the heat up right from the start." –The Globe and Mail"Fascinating–a tale of queens and kings, political intrigue and a warring family, tied around a passionate central character linked to them all." –Winnipeg Free Press"Many writers attempt the kind of heart-stopping historical fiction Weir has mastered. Few come close to her winning combination of brisk pacing, solid scene-stealing and the vivid descriptions a novel set in such a far-away time absolutely demands . . . . Sublime."–The Kansas City Star |
