Rezensionen

'Jane Dunn has pieced together the marvellous story of their clandestine courtship...what is wonderfully demonstrated in Dunn's account of their later lives is the sense of this being a real story, as well as a romance...their love story is beautiful and Dunn brings to life the dramatic age in which they lived.' Daily Mail

'"Read My Heart" provides a richly detailed backdrop to Dorothy Osborne's letters, vividly recalling the boisterous bonhomie of 17th century England.' Mail on Sunday

'Jane Dunn is a gifted storyteller, who writes with fluency and wit...she has produced a biography that is also an excellent guide to the tumultuous seven decades through which the Temples lived and loved.' Sunday Telegraph

'Dunn shows her skills as a solidly good historian, painting a vivid picture of a free-thinking intellectual...a double life is a tricky enterprise...but Dunn...an expert in the dynamics of couples maintains a sense of balance throughout.' Sunday Times
