"I very much enjoyed this book and I haven't read the tempest but Nydia writes so your very invested in the characters and the book flows beautifully. I feel the judgement of illness as does the main character"

"I was worried I wouldn’t like the writing style of this but I actually loved it. I think this was very beautifully written and I enjoyed sycoraxs story. However I do feel it was a little bit long towards the end and dragged out just a tad.

"Sycorax by Nydia Hetherington is a beautifully written and deeply moving reimagining of a character who appears only briefly in Shakespeare’s The Tempest. I found myself utterly absorbed as Hetherington cast a fresh and poetic light on Sycorax’s life"

“All we can do is perform our lives as gloriously as possible. For my part, I’m happy to take my applause where I can. This is the end because I cannot write the next chapter, it needs to be lived.”

“Do not be defined by a lover, or by anyone else for that matter. You are not an appendage, an add-on to the masculine world. And so, you must have your independence – not only of thought and spirit, but physical and financial. Independence will be your strength. Find it. Hold on to it. It is freedom, Mouse, and it will serve you well.”

“To dream is to live with your face brightened by moonlight. Yet dreams are only a shadow, my Mouse, a pale and rippled reflection of the way things could be. I know what a dreamer you are; we are cut from the same fabric where that’s concerned. But, if our dreams come true, we risk tainting them with the hard edge of reality. Sometimes it’s a risk worth taking, like working hard to become the greatest funambulist who ever lived. And, sometimes, it’s best to leave well alone and let daydreams stay in the world of our imagination. The trick is, finding which to leave and which to follow.”
