'Clark takes an iconic and forbidding figure and transforms her into a passionate, loving and damaged woman.' - Simon Russell Beale; 'This is a heart-breaking tale and no mistake. A beautiful and lyrical tale told with deft brilliance' - John Sessions; 'Atmospheric and vividly imagined. 'Valhalla' brings to life a woman who had otherwise seemed frozen in history; it's theme of royal duty still all too relevant.' - Margaret Drabble; ''Valhalla' is a beautifully crafted novel that succeeds in bringing Queen Mary vividly to life.' - Elizabeth Mac Donald, author of 'A Matter of Interpretation'
