Historical Novels Review
"Sampson gives a vibrant portrait of both the people and the
places in the book. She writes with great vivdness about her subject, which
ensures a constantly engaging story. There are dangerous and swaggering
warriors, cautious and thoughtful priests, and a pragmatic and wise queen.
Sampson masterfully draws them all together to make the story of
AUgustine's bringing of the christian faith to England an absorbing and
rewarding read."
