Rezensionen

Every other page, it seems, is gilded with erudite detail, bringing the saga templates to life . . . It's a refreshing delight to read a novel of such extremely high calibre which interweaves mythical, magical and historical . . . Elphinstone is a worthy successor to writers like Linklater and Mackay Brown, developing their themes in the new century with a voice which is distinctly her own. Herald
