Critics Review

PRAISE FOR SARA SHERIDAN’S EVOCATIVE NOVELS
Dripping with intrigue and luscious prose, this sumptuous novel shines a light on a Glasgow long past … Sherdian’s fine writing and expert characterisation just pull you in, so you can hear silk skirts swish and secret doors creak, as if you too are dwelling amongst the bustle of Blytheswood Square. I loved it * Karen Campbell *
A gripping and beautifully written book * ES Thomson *
An enchanting new novel * Scots Magazine *
Sheridan is a mistress of the historical novel, and reading her latest book feels at times like stepping into an elaborate period drama set in Edinburgh and Glasgow … this is essential reading * Scottish Field Magazine *
A gripping novel * Good Housekeeping *
Sheridan’s spry plot sees secrets discovered, ruinous rumours scotched, happiness regained and friendships founded in a novel that celebrates the search for autonomy * Daily Mail *
A novel of feeling and intellect … a rich and compelling story. * The Scotsman *
There’s never any sense of time being wasted. Sheridan meticulously fills out her characters … a positive, optimistic novel. * The Herald Scotland *
Thoroughly enjoyable, a novel of feeling and intellect which will surely and deservedly be a great success * The Scotsman Magazine *
