A propos du livre

Revue de presse

"In Cymberie Maggie Freeman creates a meticulously researched and richly imagined historical world. Freeman is a writer of lush sensuality and this story of an extraordinary contract is the perfect vehicle for her talents." --Kathryn Heyman

Maggie Freeman has the ability to draw the reader into the lives of her characters in this immensely strong story of a poverty-stricken young woman caught up in the existence of an aristocratic family and her struggle to come to terms with their world. I found "Cymberie" an absorbing, deeply convincing novel, full of real people living in their time. A story that stayed in my mind long afterwards. --Elizabeth Lord

Hugely enjoyable, a compelling and tenderly written story about a woman's struggle to survive and find her path. Cymberie is rich with sights, scents and surprising details conjuring a past age in rural landscapes that are timeless." --Frances Galleymore
