Historical Novels Review
- ‘With settings that stretch from China to Cornwall, these romantic sagas delight’ The Independent
- For LOST YEARS: '(he) has always been a good writer in his chosen field of historical fabulations and, as usual, he emphasises the historic over the romantic. His many fans won't be disappointed' - BRISTOL E. NEWS
- 'No more readable novel will come out of Cornwall for a long time. It confirms Thompson's place in the top flight of novelists, right there alongside Dame Daphne du Maurier and Winston Graham: the crème de la crème' - CORNISH GUARDIAN
