Critics Review
Elegant and beautiful … a magical tour de force shot through with strange melodies. I loved it
A perfectly splendid story, splendidly told with great style and originalityElegant and cozy. Witty and wise. Innocent and sensuous and, at times, downright sexy.

Ellen Kushner’s treatment of the True Thomas legend is worthy to rank with those of Kipling and CabellAbout The Author
