Critics Review
“Historical fiction doesn’t get much better than this” – LoveReading4Kids
“Had me on the edge of my seat” – Dan Smith
“An excellent and moving tale … Palmer has written a real page-turner here” – Aspects of History
“I’m awestruck by his ability to make history come alive and resonate emotionally in beautifully compact prose … written dramatically and sensitively; Palmer’s writing is sharp like a chisel, finding the heart under the harsh cold of war” – Chris Soul
“Artful descriptions ensure that we wholly experience each sensation – from grief to brutal cold – with the characters, and (as always with Tom Palmer) we finish knowing, and caring, much more than when we started” – Roaring Reads, Blog
