Reviews

'The characters, setting and the issues at stake will all linger long after you've finished reading it' -Domitilla Campanile, Professor of History, University of Pisa

'In lush historic prose, Elizabeth Mac Donald leads the reader on a complex journey, where all interactions are tinged with superstition and suspicion' - Nuala O'Connor, author of Becoming Belle

'A fascinating sliver of history and a truly original book' -Alan Robert Clark, author of The Prince of Mirrors

'Mac Donald's style is crisp and captivating' -Biancamaria Rizzardi, Professor of English Literature, University of Pisa

'A rich tapestry full of period detail with something of modern film technique and a touch of Dante in its storytelling, A Matter of Interpretation moves on its luminous and mysterious way through church and high state intrigue. A book to read with a glass of port and a dagger nearby' -George Szirtes, poet and translator
