Reviews
A lovely novel which I hugely enjoyed. I envy Karen Swan's skill to evoke a landscape and a very different past so effortlessly. The love story was all that one would wish and the characters are terrific. -- Elizabeth Buchan, author of Against Her Nature
This sweeping love story gripped us from the start, so we can't wait for the next in the series. Best historical romance. -- Independent on The Last Summer

It contains all the ingredients of a wonderfully satisfying read: love, passion, drama, violence, menace and peril, and characters you fall in love with. -- Santa Montefiore, author of Flappy Investigates on The Last Summer
