Reviewer’s Quotes

Arditti does a masterful job of shining a light on the women in the book and also challenging the traditional view of David as a great hero.

A Dream of Books

Whether the reader agrees with the characterisation of David offered (I didn’t agree with all of it), the narrative is as much a clever, thoughtful, revealing exposition of the man, David, as it is the story of three very different but equally important, remarkable royal women.
