Thank you to David King for this
wonderful review of The Hardham Divine:
'I've found it an immensely enjoyable and engrossing read, taking me into early 12th century Sussex and France.
There is something a little reminiscent of Ken Follett's 'The Pillars of the Earth' in the setting, but 'The Hardham Divine' is a superior read in so many ways: the quality of the writing, the research and the scholarship. Although the storyline becomes gripping as a page-turner, the measured writing maintains a sense of substance and authenticity throughout, interspersed with Latin, genuine archaic Sussex, French and Occitan dialect.
I sincerely hope the book receives the wide acclaim that it deserves. Although it has an obviously local setting, I am sure that the storyline and the very quality of the writing would ensure a generalised appeal and success in the literary world.
Thank you for providing such a great read.'
