Critics Review
I love The New World… I look forward, hopefully, to more.
I love The New World… I look forward, hopefully, to more. – John Sutherland * The Times *It’s written with such gusto and passion that it’s impossible not to enjoy it. * Irish Independent *Motion paints an alluring portrait of a land that is in turns bountiful and beautiful, barren and savage. – Lucy Scholes * Independent *Motion’s narrative is both more lyrical and more gruesome than Robert Louis Stevenson’s. * Mail on Sunday *Motion has fashioned an exciting narrative that fans of the original will welcome. * Good Book Guide *
