- Jake Kerridge, Daily Telegraph
Tremain's latest novel more than lives up to its atmospheric, riveting beginning... It's consummate storytelling, and finds room for redemption as well as revenge
- Hephzibah Anderson, Mail on Sunday
Another memorable and engrossing read from Tremain, which brings Victorian London, and especially courageous Lily, to life on the page
- Joanne Finney, Good Housekeeping
A heartbreaking story set in Victorian England from the pitch-perfect pen of Rose Tremain
- Antonia Senior, The Times, *Books of the Year*
Tremain's gift is to create characters whose experiences span every walk of life, but who are grounded in their author's understanding of the world
