I love Katherine Rundell and everything she writes. Her books are treasure troves of glittering wisdom and breath-taking plots; her characters leap off the page, singular, passionate, and satisfyingly complex. I defy anyone to not lose their heart to her stories. * Maggie O’Farrel, author of Hamnet *
Katherine Rundell’s books are an automatic purchase in my house. She is a magician, one of the great storytellers of our time * Max Porter *
