Media Reviews
The book is terrific and shining through it is the spirit of Sheila herself: brave, indomitable and full of a desire to change the world for the better. * Judy Finnigan, Daily Express *
There is more than a touch of The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie about the book … Carter is an original and convincing character, and Hancock would be perfect for the part in a film of the book * Daily Mail *
A novel of love, loss, politics, history and most importantly the power of friendship. A rich and absorbing story you won’t want to put down **** * Daily Express *
Sheila Hancock has created an inspiring character – and a compelling portrait of Britain ***** * The Lady *
‘[Hancock] is a naturally gifted writer and Marguerite is an appealing heroine * Sunday Times *
A sweeping story ... Well written and rich in historic detail * Sunday Mirror *
