Fascinating historical romance, set in the period of England's Civil Wars, when Charles was still stubbornly standing out against parliament
One of the last century's most original literary talents
She wrote exciting plots, she was highly skilled at arousing suspense, and she was, too, a writer of fearless originality
No other popular writer has so triumphantly defied classification . . . She satisfied all the questionable criteria of popular fiction, and yet satisfied the exacting requirements of "real literature", something very few novelists ever do
