and deeply imagined novel . . . gives the reader a strong
you-were-there feeling."--The Times-Picayune "A page-turning
thriller . . . Willis uses detail and period language exquisitely
well, creating an engaging, exciting tale."--Publishers Weekly

vividly. . . . multifaceted and believable."

unforgettable."--January Magazine "I loved this book. It is
informative, subtle, full of great characters and has a wonderful
plot. . . . Brilliant. Willis at her finest."--Michael Moorcock
