Reviews

A wonderfully vivid and pacey tale of passion, scandal and big ideas. -- Michael Cathcart, presenter of ABC Radio National's Books & Arts
Kiera Lindsey takes the facts of this story of her great, great, great-aunt, places them in the turbulent politics of the time, and fleshes them out with a decent but fair dose of imagination. Like her rebellious ancestor, she flouts convention with flair. * Australian Women's Weekly *
