Reviews

“A colourful and richly textured story worthy of this unique city”

Matthew H. Jacobs – Hampton, New Hampshire USA

‘I loved this book. Full of fascinating history, very exciting and I look forward to the sequel.’

Sarah Lewis

‘Westcott blows away the myth that Bath is the graveyard of ambition.’

Patrick McCloy

‘An interesting and believable cast of characters move through the conflict of development versus conservation, still relevant in Bath today as the city continues to deal with how society and social mores have changed over the years.’
