This book is a "tour de force"' in the exploration of the human psyche and in its ability to transport the reader, with such authenticity and in-depth knowledge of subject matter. Powerful and chilling. (5 stars)

An early night kind of book...just to read it! (5 stars)
Julie Ann Evans

A stunning piece of story telling, every player pulls his or her's weight in accomplishing a multilevelled, consistent novel, the twist to which, I expect few people will see coming. (5 stars)

The more I read, the more I was pulled in with all the twists and turns. Rachel's writing style is quite unique. An historical novel which beautifully perfects the language and atmosphere of those times. The narrative is also spot-on making this story easy to follow and never dull. Rachel manages to inject much humour into an otherwise chilling tale—I laughed out loud at certain parts and then felt guilt because of Anne's dilemma. I don't think I have ever encountered so many surprises and twists in a novel before. (5 stars)
