* April issue Marie Claire - 5 star review by Eithne Farry: 'An atmospheric and hugely romantic adventure story'
* 'A remarkable view of Barbary pirates and their times, and an engrossing romance of clashing cultures and wonderful characters' --Diana Gabaldon
* 'I took it to read in the bath and was still reading when the water had gone cold! I really couldn't put it down. Exciting and romantic (oh so romantic!) and there is so much suspense. The descriptions are fabulous, too. It deserves to be a huge success' -- Barbara Erskine
* 'I was enthralled from the first page to the last by this dramatic, exotic, and passionate tale that slips seamlessly through time. Jane Johnson's wonderfully researched book leaves the fragrance of spices and the rustle of beautiful silks lingering in the mind with images of two exceptional women and the men in their lives' --Rosalind Laker, author of The Golden Tulip
* 'Exciting, intriguing, fascinating and also illuminating' --Rosalind Miles, author of I, Elizabeth and Guenevere, Queen of the Summer Country
* 'Brings to life a forgotten part of England's past: the capture of inhabitants of the southern coast by Barbary corsairs in the early sixteen hundreds. Rich with detail, wonderfully researched, this is a novel that will surprise and delight' --Gerri Brightwell, author of The Dark Lantern
