Críticas:

Elizabeth Fremantle's The Girl in the Glass Tower is a stunning historical thriller set in the chaos leading up to the death of Elizabeth I. (from publisher's description)

Filled with dense, dark political and social intrigue, this is five-star historical fiction (Daily Mail)

If you read one Tudor tome this summer, make it this one. Fascinating and vividly drawn, the ending is heartbreaking (The Times 'Book of the Month')

Beautifully written, completely engrossing and a book that stays with you after the pages areclosed. Highly recommended (Historia)

An enthralling, powerful tale (Antonia Senior)

Arbella Stuart was a pawn, at the mercy of the powerful people around her. Hers is a sad and moving tale, and Fremantle tells it beautifully (History Girls)

Fremantle shows how dangerous it was being closely related to Elizabeth I. A cracking read (Prima)

A gorgeously readable and oh so captivating slice of historical fiction. Haunting, emotional and thought-provoking, The Girl in the Glass Tower is a beautiful foray into the past (Lovereading, 'Book of the Month')
