Recensioner i media

"The world of the white horse shines out all the brighter against the dark backdrop of war. What a pleasure to return to Moonacre and find a new Moon Princess. Set during the events of the First World War, an escape into the wonderful world of rose gardens, ruins, dark forests and gypsy encampments is all the more necessary. A treat for new and old fans of Goudge’s story. Carol Lefevre clearly knows and loves the original and has brought many of the same elements into her own weaving of the tale, but adding a real-world level that gives Moonacre new appeal."
