'Effie Gray's story is extraordinary and Cooper feasts upon it with
appetite... I cannot recommend Fagence Cooper's biography of Effie
Gray more highly to anyone with a heart, a liking for a good read
and an interest in things Victorian' Henrietta Garnett,
Literary Review
'This is an exceptional book about an exceptional trio and the
exceptional families that formed them' The Scotsman
'A joy to read - a wonderful, rich book' Emma Thompson
'At last Effie Millais has been given her voice and it is marvelous
one. Effie emerges as a courageous, intelligent, resourceful, woman
who refused to go quietly. In unsettling Victorian society, she
left the door ajar for generations of women. Suzanne Fagence Cooper
elegantly brings to life the glittering world of Victorian art and
the socially complicated one of a woman who wed the two cultural
giants of the age and not only survived, but thrived! Effie's story
is a haunting one. I couldn't put it down' Linda Lear, author
of Beatrix Potter: A Life in Nature
