Reviews

"[Haasse] has a gift got painting banquets, battles and great ceremonial meetings; these set-pieces glow from the text like rich old oils, ducky and mellow." — Washington Post


"Marvelous... Haasse's panorama shows us how great events are experienced by believably human people." — USA Today


"Starkly depicts not only an individual and a culture in crisis, but also compellingly reflects one age in another." — Chicago Tribune
