'A dazzling roller-coaster of a book that will thrill, enchant and intrigue those who love history and the supernatural' bestselling author Alison Weir
The story of Eadburh is brilliantly imagined and the novel is so atmospheric and suspenseful, full of myth and magic and hauntings ... such vivid and well-rounded characters. Wild Wales and the contrasting ordered life of the Cathedral are beautifully evoked, too' bestselling author Rachel Hore
'I was thoroughly immersed in THE DREAM WEAVERS. I enjoyed meeting all the multi-generational characters (both modern and historical) and engrossed by the way the timelines of past and present intersected on so many levels ... It's a deeply satisfying read that will delight fans of Barbara Erskine and bring new readers to the table looking for more.' bestselling author Elizabeth Chadwick
'Barbara Erskine has done it yet again. From the very first pages of The Dream Weavers you are drawn into the lives of modern day characters who will, inexorably, slip the bonds of time into the mysterious and magical world of the early Saxons, and find yourself turning the pages with increasing urgency to follow this terrific, epic tale of secrets and betrayals' bestselling author Liz Trenow
