Reviews

[Graham · Rating 4 out of 5]

Scholefield is a master of historical fiction, blending historical fact with fictional characters and events in a seamless prose that holds the reader's interest. His research is thorough, his prose simple but elegant. His characterization is richly interspersed with diverse characters, his plot line is engrossing.
