" -- Debbie's Book Bag, "I have always enjoyed Elizabeth Chadwick's books since I opened my first one. Her characters live and breathe and leap out of the pages in much the same way as newspapers recount the lives of the people of today: we know them, we see them on our television screens and cannot doubt their existence, and so it is with Elizabeth Chadwick's characters. Even the totally fictitious ones who provide a link to events are as real as the historical characters they support. The author's previous novel, To Defy a King, won the 2011 RNA Historical Novel prize, and deservedly so. Her newest book is also highly recommended." - Historical Novels Review, " Lady of the English was another great bout of storytelling.
