Product Description
Kate Saunders, THE TIMES
'This is an intelligent portrait of England in the early 18th century, as experienced by a remarkable young woman.'
Review
'This is an intelligent portrait of England in the early 18th century, as experienced by a remarkable young woman.' (Kate Saunders THE TIMES )
'What makes The Alchemist's Daughter more than a routine entertainment is McMahon's vivid sense of both the natural world and of the smells and illuminated darkness of Selden's workroom. We believe in Emilie and come to love her for all her follies, because she is so passionate in her experience of the world around her.' (Roz Kaveney THE INDEPENDENT )
'McMahon has given us a first rate historical romance: it's hard to think it will be bettered this year.' (Lesley McDowell THE INDEPENDENT ON SUNDAY )
'McMahon writes seriously and well, and conveys the disjunction between knowing something scientifically and knowing it emotionally. This is familiar material, but McMahon handles it with intelligence.' (THE DAILY TELEGRAPH )
'The Emilie we relate to is passionate and modern. The Emilie we admire is rational and less modern. It works beautifully, giving us a more complex Emilie while keeping a sense of the miraculousness of the times, an era when men - and women - challenged God.' (DUBLIN EVENING HERALD )
