The touch of a master novelist... Few have ever explored so
imaginatively, or with such passionate attention to detail' *
Sunday Telegraph *
Because so little is known, it is possible to speculate endlessly.
If one's mind is a brilliant engine of speculation like Wroe's,
then one is dazzlingly equipped to do so. Her book is excellent and
discloses an intense imaginative sympathy, a lyricism, and a
fine-tuned psychological perception * Daily Express *
Wroe is a creative, even a beautiful writer... It is a wonderfully
enjoyable, rich, generous book -- A.N.Wilson * Daily Mail *
Extraordinary and compelling -- Victoria Glendinning * Daily
Telegraph *
She manages always to keep Pilate living and breathing in the text,
and occasionally kicking and screaming * Independent on Sunday *
