Critics Review
A compelling and beautifully written tale of adventure, mystery and love, The English Girl enthralled me from the first page. Set against the exotic backdrop of Arabia, Webb brings her world to life with skill and passion. - Santa Montefiore
I’ve loved all Katherine Webb’s books and this is a wonderful addition to my collection. After I finished, I found myself missing the searing heat and huge blue skies of the Omani desert. - Kate RiordanYou know with a book by Katherine Webb that the writing will be impeccable and The English Girl is no different. Utterly captivating. - Elizabeth FremantleWith memorable characters and wonderful detail, Katherine evokes a little-known episode of British history to give a fascinating perspective on a region so much in the news today. Her depiction of the desert kingdom captures all its beauty and danger. - Vanessa LafayeAbout The Author
