'Rich with historical facts ... immensely enjoyable.' -- Australian Women's Weekly 'Meticulous research of the troubled post-Treaty of Waitangi events in both Auckland and the North has produced another great historical/chick-lit with an absolutely riveting ending.' -- Northern Advocate 'There's nothing the slightest bit dull or dusty about either Kitty or Amber. Challinor characterises them wonderfully well, as she does all her cast ... a people's author with the ability to meld fact with fiction.' -- The Daily Post
