"One-word review: masterpiece."

Emily

"The absolutely most beautiful, romantic, thrilling book I’ve ever read "

Anne Sintay

"I could read this classic over and over again: the twists and turns, the intrigue. So cleverly written! She stands right with my Jane Austen obsession. Her interpretations of characters with some action and adventure are such a great combination!"

Jessica Fiore
