Critics Review
Sansom adroitly draws the disparate strands of his ambitious saga together. His non-pareil evocations of time and place anchor his characters with satisfying precision
Sansom adroitly draws the disparate strands of his ambitious saga together. His non-pareil evocations of time and place anchor his characters with satisfying precision * Independent *An unsentimental and utterly fascinating portrait of Spain in 1940 … Sansom wears his research lightly and gets right under the skin of his characters. The result is a tense, literate page-turner, full of twists, authentic detail and real pathos, a superb achievement * Guardian *A convincing and moving historical novel, which is also an exciting thriller … Sansom has a good eye for detail that brings the time alive * Sunday Times *Thoroughly researched, convincingly evocative and solidly entertaining * Daily Telegraph *Sansom triumphs as he unravels the tissues of lies and deceptions … a gripping, readable story * Spectator *
