Barbara Erskine does it again - another gripping book.	Customer Rating:
I have been a fan of Barbara Erskine for around 14 years now and always look forward to her new books. This one as not let me down. The dual stories of Eigon from the past and Jess from the current are both gripping and keep you reading from front to back cover. Cant wait for the next Barbara Erskine book! Thanks.

disappointing......	Customer Rating:
A long awaited book, turned out to be a disappointment. It dragged, and I found myself skipping paragraphs. A wonderful author has let herself down with this one. The historical background was well written and interesting, but the characters?.... weak and boring!

brilliant	Customer Rating:
this is my first barbara erskine novel , and as soon as I read the synopsis , i felt i just had to read it... I finished it in a day ... can't put it down, the story is so engaging , feel a bit long sometimes in the middle , but it soon pick up and just hooked you till the end... I'm now excitedly browsing for more of her book...

Celtic Connundrum

Customer Rating:

I have read all of Erskines previous books so eagerly await any new offering. Only trouble is she is so formulaic, its the same novel plot over and over again.I wish for once she would come out of her comfort zone and surprise me. Good points , learning about Celtic Britain and Roman Times with a mix of early Christianity thrown in. Bad points, plot all over the place.Characters very annoying and having read so many of her works i sadly guessed most of what was going to happen.The ending after nearly 500 pages was weak. Ive given it 4 stars because she is a good story teller but Barbara stretch yourself next time and come up with a different plot for once.

the Warrior's Princess

Customer Rating:

Fantastic book, especially as it was set in the village where my great grandmother used to live and is buried in the churchyard of St Eigons Church. Once again, Barbara Erskine has written a wonderfully, descriptive story, enabling the reader to imagine themselves in Rome and Wales. I love her present day characters and how thier lives entwine with those of the past. Please hurry up and write the next book.I have to say my favourite book is Lady of Hay.
