a very gifted storyteller
I've just finished reading your book, and have enjoyed it very much. You are a very gifted storyteller and you have brought to life through your very appealing heroine a fascinating period of English history. I look forward to reading the next instalment.

On behalf of The Curious Club, I wish to thank you most sincerely for the wonderful talk and demonstration you gave at our Annual General Meeting on Thursday. It was fascinating to hear about your "alter ego" and to learn so much about the intricacies of her clothing and life.

I didn't want this one to end. I've totally enjoyed this novel. Love the way that Rosemary Griggs wrote this story.

This book is well worth the read.

A brilliant 1st novel, well worth reading. Rosemary Griggs obviously put much time and thought into researching the people and places associated with the central character, weaving a colourfully poignant story around historical records. The book breathes life into places that I now want to revisit. The nobility relationships with their religious and political struggles gave great insight to the events and background to famous names. Can't wait for her next novel.
