Beneath the chilling, photogenic story, the writing remains beautiful. * Independent * Superb...Frazier's historical research generally sits lightly on the story, almost always embedded gracefully in dialogue, a small telling incident or a sharp memory of kindness or brutality. His prose is both of the characters' time and perfectly evocative... A finely wrought novel that will reward re-reading. Elegiac without being exculpatory, it is an indictment of complicity without ignoring the historic complexity of the great evil at the core of American history. * Washington Post * Clear-sighted depiction of culpable leaders in a divided America. * Guardian * '[A] fine historical novel ... A strong human story and, in the capable hands of Frazier, the author of Cold Mountain, is both emotionally engaging and rich in historical insights. * Mail on Sunday * Moving * Sunday Times * Frazier's elegant prose and vivid, dreamy conjuring of V's youth and her attempted exodus has an air of romance about it ... Fascinating. * New Statesman * Here's a woman of the Civil War to outshine Scarlett O'Hara * Times * A visceral, powerfully written evocation both of the beaten South at the nadir and of one of its more unusual survivors. * Daily Mail * The narrative is sweeping and Frazier has a beautiful style of writing. * Press Association * Frazier's writing is, as ever, spectacular in place. * Scotland on Sunday * Elegant, elegiac prose * Sunday Express S Magazine * Riveting...this is a sharp, evocative novel * Publishers Weekly *
