Media Reviews
`If the beach reading season has you craving a novel with bold characters and a zippy pace, consider this slice of young adult Victoriana' * Daily Mail *
`Nobody tells a story like Mary Hooper does. Her ability to make the lives of girls in times past come alive for the modern reader is a special skill. As well as her superb grasp of period settings, she revels in extraordinary and fascinating human stories that cry out to be told. Such lives could not be in better hands' * John McLay, Director, Bath Festival of Children's Literature *
`A sensitive and tautly-plotted novel, intelligently told' * Daily Mail *
`By any standards, an exceptional novel . . . the gift for taking historical situations and making them emotionally engaging is far too rare . . . after six historical novels, this one is Hooper's breakthrough and its characterisation, plotting and atmosphere are first-rate and deserve prizes . . . Not since Philip Pullman's The Ruby in the Smoke has there been such a gorgeous evocation of Victorian life - or so satisfying a conclusion' * Amanda Craig, The Times *
