Trade ReviewIn the world of historical saga writers, there's a brand new voice * My Weekly *
I really enjoyed Glenda's novel. It's well researched and well written and I found myself caring about her characters -- Rosie Goodwin
Will resonate with saga readers everywhere...a wonderful, uplifting story -- Nancy Revell
All the ingredients for a perfect saga and I loved Meg; she's such a strong and believable character. A fantastic debut -- Emma Hornby
Glenda has an exceptionally keen eye for domestic detail which brings this local community to vivid, colourful life and Meg is a likeable, loving heroine for whom the reader roots from start to finish -- Jenny Holmes
I found it difficult to believe that this was a debut novel, as "brilliant" was the word in my mind when I reached the end. I enjoyed it enormously, being totally absorbed from the first page. I found it extremely well written, and having always loved sagas, one of the best I've read -- Margaret Kaine
