David Hughes in The Mail on Sunday
This is the story of an impostor and bigamist, a self-styled Colonel Hope, who travels to the North, where eventually he marries "The Maid Buttermere", a young woman whose natural beauty inspired the dreams and confirmed the theories of various early nineteenth century writers... It is a fine story... This is historical fiction with a human face'
Peter Ackroyd in The Times
'Very much enjoyed; a fine subject treated with great energy and imagination, and a gusto that Hazlitt would have admired'
Richard Holmes, author of FOOTSTEPS
'A vivid and erudite historical tour de force-romantic fiction for the thinking reader'
Penelope Lively
'Bragg achieves the most difficult of feats, the telling of the changing perceptions and ideals of a radical age... He is also as powerful as ever in his description of nature'
Andrew Sinclair in The Sunday Times
'A skilled, ornate and convincing examination of a nineteenth-century scandal in Bragg's own Cumbria'
