Reviews
A masterpiece of historical fiction... Famous names and locations spring to life in all their glory and grit... Pillars of Light is destined to become a classic' -- Anne Fortier
Jane Johnson has combined a scorchingly powerful story of warring nations with sensual tales of forbidden love. Johnson's talent for unlocking the senses allows us to experience the wonders of exotic worlds, the powers of alchemy, and the aching sweetness of honey -- Linda Holeman
Riveting, enlightening and painful, this novel reveals the senselessness of warfare and conflict and provokes reflection about current events. But it's also about the resilience of love and the hope, the capacity for goodness, that exists in everyone * Globe and Mail, Canada *
You will enjoy this intelligent, historical read (similar in feel to Ken Follett's style) and will quickly get caught up in the characters lives and the historical references * The Baking Bookworm *
Epic and tender, as thrilling as it is moving, Pillars of Light deftly spins a story of the crusader world that is rich, deep, complex and quite unlike anything I've read before. I couldn't put it down -- Dan Jones
