Reviews

A story of love, deceit, changelings, and mistaken identity worthy of a Restoration dramatist * Daily Mail *
A sumptuous and enthralling novel about art, love, illusion and money...with the denouement of a classic * The Times *
A byzantine plot that hurtles towards disaster, while retaining the polished veneer of a Dutch interior * Harpers & Queen *
Sensuous and masterly...a gorgeous novel * Mail on Sunday *
Clever, spry and sad in equal measure...a pacy plot whose twists and shifts of viewpoint make for much anxious page-turning * Daily Telegraph *
