I'm really in two minds on this. On one hand, this book is exceptionally well presented; it is exacting, detailed, and contains a lot of good academic practice in terms of cross-referencing sources, understanding contemporary language use (in multipl ...more |

| A genuinely excellent, accessible book. I must give particular praise for the mostly-elegant handling of common names (Margarets and Marys are just as confusing as Henrys and Louis', it seems!) and switches of perspective across concurrent events and ...more | |

There's a lot to commend this book for, but there's also a lot that would keep me from recommending it to anyone outright. Firstly, the subject matter is excellent - I appreciated the breadth of the women involved in the story, who extended well beyon ...more |

| An interesting topic, but I found the approach a little dry and overall underwhelming - I would have appreciated less of the minute (occasionally excruciating) detail in places, and a little more reflection both lateral and retrospective to put event ...more | |

“Once I got away from him, I was smart enough to stay away from him. To hunt that one is as wise as to go hunting a porcupine.
I cannot leave this alone, Nighteyes.
I understand. I am the same about porcupines.”

“He'll be down with the books. My old septon used to say books are dead men talking. Dead men should keep quiet is what I say. No one wants to hear a dead man's yabber.”

“I think there are two types of writers, the architects and the gardeners. The architects plan everything ahead of time, like an architect building a house. They know how many rooms are going to be in the house, what kind of roof they're going to have, where the wires are going to run, what kind of plumbing there's going to be. They have the whole thing designed and blueprinted out before they even nail the first board up. The gardeners dig a hole, drop in a seed and water it. They kind of know what seed it is, they know if planted a fantasy seed or mystery seed or whatever. But as the plant comes up and they water it, they don't know how many branches it's going to have, they find out as it grows. And I'm much more a gardener than an architect.”
