completely engaging - Jennifer Taylor a beautifully written story. Sally Gardner has clearly researched the times and customs very well indeed for she had me transported back to that far off time. I would definitely recommend this book, told with such care and feeling. - Muriel Barking 'Beautifullly written, completely absorbing story... the author evokes the streets of London and the political upheavals of the day with compelling ease. - Christine Kidney will captivate readers with its riveting and detailed parallel storylines, its intriguingly drawn characters, and, above all, its engrossing first person narration - Marla Arback the skillful writing sweeps through mid-seventeenth century London. a thrilling story that mixes historic realism, credible characters and the dreamy, sometimes violent, dimension of a netherworld. The two blend seamlessly in this gripping and orginal story that abounds with gritty suspense. An excellent read. - Mary Arrigan a book filled with enchantment and difference. You won't read many novels as beautifully written and as enthralling as this rich, spellibinding, new-off-the-black fairy tale. - John Millen
