Here is a story that unfolds perfectly, scene by marvellous scene, in a sort of controlled mounting storm of narration, great tenderness and great savagery (there are wonderful battles) twining together under the story’s superbly colored and sensitive surface.” - Guardian “All that has been so much admired in Miss Sutcliff's writing-her concern with the nature of courage, the marvellous ease with which she moves within an historical situation, the power and beauty of her style-flower together to produce a single astonishing experience. “The total assurance of the writing indicates an author fully in command of her power.” - Times Literary Supplement ![]()
