Critics Review
Marina Fiorato’s latest novel will delight her ever increasing number of fans
A rich jewel of a story, full of colour, desire and danger. I was transfixed. - Julie Cohen
A beautifully-crafted novel…, by turns opulent and visceral. The encroaching sense of menace was perfectly paced, as was the slow reveal of the shocking truth underpinning the story. I adored it. - Clare HarveyMarina Fiorato’s latest novel will delight her ever increasing number of fans - Dilly CourtPraise for Marina Fiorato:Wonderful … hard to put down. A truly imaginative piece, both touching and delightful. - Jenny AgutterDelightful… Our heroine is feisty, the captain is dashing and the plot rollicks along. Great fun. - TimesRichly detailed and evocative … an unforgettable historical love story. Beautifully written and worth losing yourself in. - Candis MagazineIn Marina Fiorato’s beautifully imagined novel, these two witty, fierce characters once again get to take centre stage … Not only does she fill out the details of the protagonists’ lives, transforming them into characters with backgrounds, histories and contexts, but she creates meaningful and inventive narratives that inform the play … this book is a real pleasure. - We Love this Book/BooksellerEntertaining and witty - Daily MailAbout The Author
