'Women's Fiction at its best' History and Women
`Beautifully written’ Freda Lightfoot
`Swift, who understands the power of details, shows a side of
London that is rarely seen in historical fiction . . . a compelling
and often heartbreaking story’ Ann Weisgarber, Orange Shortlisted
author of The Personal History of Rachel DuPree
'Riveting narrative' For the Love of Books
'Utterly captivating' Karen Maitland, author of The Owl Killers
A true gem. It has a pacy storyline, the characters are complex,
intriguing and often unexpected - and it is packed with fascinating
historical fact
*Gabrielle Kimm, author of His Last Duchess*
'The past comes alive through impeccable research, layers of
intriguing plotline, an understanding of the complexities of 17th
century politics and the sheer power of descriptive prose.
Add to all this Swift's rich characterisation and subtle evocation
of a period of religious upheaval and you have a classy, compelling
adventure story and a true journey of discovery'
*Lancashire Evening Post*
