"A vision of past savagery that lies maddeningly between truth and fiction."

Here is a link to a really, really great review of The Sound in the Rochford Street Review. There have been plenty of favourable reviews, but this is my favourite because historian James Dunk tackles the basic tenets and problems with historical fiction, researched his way around the themes in The Sound and totally engaged with the book. Wonderful stuff!

    Yeh, that sure was a great review Sarah. I reckon he 'got it'.

    Is there a link to the biographies on your/this blog, or on your website? I read the book on my iPad and for some reason it wouldn't go to them, even though the link was there.

    Oh, that's interesting. I didn't realise it had that function. Anyhoo on the book cover on AWDS, click on that and then go to The Sound.

    Ah, OK - found it. Thanks. Formatting is a bit odd on that blog - I think the images are too big but I can follow it OK.

    Cool Michelle. Yes, I am having problems with the formatting on the blog. Your comment reminds me that I could just start a new blogger one and link it.
