'A compelling medieval fable, written from the heart and melded to a driving narrative which never once loses its tremendous pace'
Guardian
'An irresistible blend of intellect and passion'
Mail on Sunday
'This remarkable novel resembles an illuminated manuscript mapped with angels and mountains and signposts, an allegory for today and yesterday too. A beautiful, unsettling moral fiction about virtue and intolerance'
Observer
'Remarkable...Utterly absorbing...richly detailed and finely imagined'
Sunday Telegraph
'The lucidity of Jill Paton Walsh's style and the dexerity of the narrative are such that her book reads more like a good thriller than a weighty novel of ideas...An ingenious fable'
The Times
