Vigorous and intense, energetic and absorbing -- Hilary Mantel The book is vivid with historical details, the characters intense with drama and feeling... A story to lose yourself in, an intense and satisfying read -- Sarah Vine * The Times * Richly and densely textured, serious, intelligent, passionately written, and with more than a hint of gothic, the story pushes the reader to examine its central point: who are the savages? -- Elizabeth Buchan * Sunday Times * Well told, and well paced, with an easy narrative flow. The story offers strong personalities and a complicated, interesting plot...I felt secure in the accuracy of her picture of the time and place... Clare Clark's story and her history ring absolutely and very sadly true -- Ursula K Le Guin * Guardian * Intricately plotted and thick with intrigue, Savage Lands gives us an insight into an overlooked era -- Stephanie Bishop * Times Literary Supplement *
