'Goring is a superb writer who artfully breathes life into the tale of Mary's captivity... Goring's sympathetic and deeply human portrayal of a wronged yet scheming woman is superb... and a narrative style which makes facts read like fiction' * Scottish Field * 'Taps into the current vogue for intensely personal journeys, allowing the reader to experience vicariously Mary's historical confinements' * Country Life * 'Written very lucidly... This is a new take on Mary’ -- Dr Louise Heren * History Scotland Webinar * 'Homecoming was a very good book… this sequel, Exile, telling of her years in captivity in England, is even better. Together they have claim to be not only the most complete account of Mary’s life, but also the fairest and most intelligent' -- Allan Massie * The Scotsman * 'Showcasing the many ways in which examining this period of Mary Queen of Scots life tells us a whole bunch of things we maybe did not know already, despite how much attention certain aspects of her life have had over the centuries' * NewBooks Network *
