Critics Review
“The mutually dependent relationship between Kerin and the stranger is sensitively drawn, as is the depiction of a society kept in ignorance by a religious elite.”
One of the best-imagined worlds I’d read about in a long time. Utterly convincing in its detail and logic, and the language and the people to go with it. And then she has a good story as well–WHITBREAD AWARD-winner Andrew Norris, co-writer of hit TV show THE BRITTAS EMPIRE
The plot speeds along, the dialogue is sharp…mighty promising–BBC FOCUS
