I don’t just like Passion Blue, I LOVE it! I simply galloped through it.
Jane Yolen, author of The Devil’s Arithmetic

A lovely read.
Megan Whalen Turner, author of The Queen's Thief series

A glimpse of 15th century Italian life as sure-handed and brilliantly illuminated as the work of a Renaissance master.
Meredith Ann Pierce, author of the Darkangel trilogy

An elegant retelling of that old, crucial story of finding one’s place in the world, set against a vivid evocation of the Italian Renaissance.
Robin McKinley, author of Beauty

A lush, vibrant read that is utterly transporting.
Lesley Livingston, author of the Wondrous Strange series

A story that respects the intelligence both of the reader and the protagonist.
Robin Hobb, author of the Farseer Trilogy
