A vividly imagined journey through an alternative Celtic reality which skilfully combines an intriguing narrative with lyrical description and spiritual depth.     Maggie Hamand, author of Virgin and Child and Creative Writing for Dummies

A beautifully written, well-paced exploration of Morag’s growth. Rivett does an excellent job of putting us inside her head, to the point that we start to feel we know her intimately. A positive portrayal of a Christian community clinging to its pagan origins, contrasting it sharply with a bureaucratic, patriarchal church intent on standardising and regulating worship across the world. Alastair Mabbott, The Herald

Beautifully written and evocative of the culture of the time, no anachronistic language intrudes. This is a misty, green world, where the Otherworld of the Sidhe is not so distant from life among the living. Rivett understands the tight relationship of the peasants to the land and the seasons and their religious ideas and practices.     Susie Helme, Historical Novel Society

Suspenseful and engaging. A thoroughly good read that challenges the assumptions that hold us back.     Isabel Clarke, author of Madness, Mystery and the Survival of God

This novel is unique in its voice, storytelling and setting. A slow burner, it’s a novel that feels warm and personal and very gentle. It isn’t driven by action or adventure, yet still has a sense of pace and purpose, and it always pitches up some new, creative twist.     Maddy McGlynn, maddyreadsherstory blog

A skilfully written story of one woman and her journey to discover herself. I felt like I was inside Morag’s head. The characters are well fleshed out and the way the author weaves religion into the novel makes it a layered and interesting read. The exploration of mental health is another sensitively handled subject. It's a novel that’s well-written, with sensitivity but also bravery.     Sharon Rimmelzwaan, Beyond the Books blog

Evokes a profound sense of the beauty of place and of the community that is bound to it. The reader is drawn in, and in a way joins the characters on their journey. If the setting is a thousand years in the past, the underlying themes are quite contemporary.     Br Daniel OSB, Pluscarden Benedictines

It made me think. I loved the characters and could easily have read more.     Michelle Wilde
