Kathleen Kent: praise for John Emmett
31/03/11 15:55
A very generous quote from Kathleen Kent, author of The Heretic’s Daughter and The Traitor’s Wife, for the USA edition of John Emmett. She writes:
"A complex and gripping novel of post World War I England still devastated by violence and loss, Elizabeth Speller's The Return of Captain John Emmett recreates a by-gone era of great innocence and incomprehensible depravity through her richly imagined narrative and characters."
