Critics Review
An absolute triumph of a book – Weymouth expertly blends politics, romance, and deep, profound meditations on motherhood in an intricate tale that deserves to be next to the classics. A new favorite book from one of my favorite writers. * Hannah Whitten, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Foxglove King *
At once achingly sweet and lavishly dark, Weymouth deftly weaves a tale of war, love, sacrifice and devotion. Add in poignant portrayals of motherhood and faith, and The Castle and the Cloister brings something truly human and honest to the adult fantasy landscape. * H. M. Long, author of Dark Water Daughter *
An absolute masterpiece. Lush and immersive, The Castle and the Cloister transports readers to a rich, layered world brimming with intrigue, betrayal, and an unforgettable cast of complex characters. * Heather Walter, author of Malice and The Crimson Crown *
