MEDIA REVIEWS
'That rare thing,a novel with vast scope and ambition,brilliantly achieved,but also deeply personal,finely detailed and nuanced. I was utterly immersed in this spell-binding story.'- Rosamund Lupton,author of Three Hours,on The City of Tears
'A gorgeously written,utterly absorbing epic and,despite being set in the sixteenth century,has some very pertinent messages for our time about the evils of religious persecution and the transcendent power of love and family. In case it's not clear enough yet,I absolutely LOVED it.'- Lucy Foley,bestselling author of The Hunting Party and The Paris Apartment,on The City of Tears
