The Winter Isles by Antonia Senior
For fans of Bernard Cornwell and Sharon Penman, Antonia Senior brings medieval Scotland to life in The Winter Isles: a vivid, authentic tale of one man's quest to hear his name through the ages.
In Somerled.. Antonia Senior has created a perfect hero for our times... This is passionate, wonderful, windswept writing, full of the wonder of hill and heath and sea... One of the must-reads of the year. -- Manda Scott
Senior's prose is beautiful and powerful, poetic and yet immediate... She has taken a Norse-Gaelic legend and made it ring true, which is no small feat... Fearlessly and deftly done. I loved this book deeply. -- Giles Kristian
Antonia writes so beautifully, so convincingly... Her prose is exquisite - lyrical, sensitive, constantly and delightfully surprising. Her characters are utterly believable, rounded, engaging and absolutely of their time... Antonia has proved herself once again to be in the very first rank of British historical novelists. -- Angus Donald
This book by @Tonisenior is magnificent! One of the best books I've read in the last five years. Magical. -- Ben Kane
