An eloquent and moving statement of the power of love and the belief that it will triumph in the end.

Barry Unsworth, The Guardian

A cracking good Bible-based novel for those of us who are theologically challenged. If Hollywood producer Cecil B. DeMille (The Ten Commandments) were alive today, he'd be angling for the film rights.

The Montreal Gazette

Gripping and believable . . . In an age where reason and science have shown themselves inadequate to fulfil the human dream of perfection, it is important that serious writers such as Williams face the perennial questions of faith and love.

The Irish Times

Powerful and moving . . . an absorbing and intelligent novel.
