PRAISE FOR WE SPEAK NO TREASON: 'Ablaze with colour, smell and sound, for lovers of the historical novel, this is a feast' VOGUE; 'A rattling good tale' ANTONIA FRASER; 'The portrait of Richard III is utterly credible... a superb novel, the product of a rare talent' THE SUNDAY EXPRESS; 'The flow of the narrative, the richness of the scene are superb' THE SUNDAY MIRROR; 'Superb... I could not put it down' THE SUNDAY MIRROR; 'Miss Jarman manages to convey the lush, devious bawdy ambience of her chosen century' TIME; 'Brilliant... A broad, rich tapestey of medieval life' THE SUNDAY EXPRESS; 'An outstanding first. What mostly emerges is an unusual sense of the historical detail: the folds in the dress, the smell of bodies crammed in low and smoky rooms, the light in a diamond on a hand travelling across a yellow parchment' THE GUARDIAN; 'A most impressive novel. The historical background is very good indeed, every major source has been used to add to the verisimilitude to the tale' TLS.
