This week I was very lucky to win a copy of Sandra Gulland’s latest novel Mistress of the Sun on Julianne Douglas’ brilliant blog, Writing the Renaissance
I’m so pleased 🙂

Various Reviews for Mistress of the Sun ~
“[A] captivating jewel of a novel.”– Historical Novels Review, editors’ choice
“Here’s a warning: Mistress of the Sun is dangerously seductive. It’s one of those books that will grab you and hold you captive till the last page is turned.”– Montreal Gazette
“Teeming with the rich period details that make historical fiction so rewarding, Gulland’s dynamic and nuanced portrait of Louis’s notorious reign thrums with page-turning expediency and deliciously seductive machinations.”– Booklist
“Suspenseful, evocative, atmospheric, and deliciously satisfying reading, with an immensely appealing heroine.” — Margaret George, author of Helen of Troy
“I fell in love with Petite from the moment she tamed her wild, white horse, and I galloped along with her through her undying devotion to one of France’s most colorful kings.” — Anne Easter Smith, author of The King’s Grace and A Rose for the Crown
“An irresistible story” — Ottawa Citizen
