Reviews

The Smile of the Stranger would have won Miss Heyer’s complete approval – a regency Gothic romp stamped with Joan Aiken’s splendid wit, pace and sentiment
Joan Aiken has such fun when she writes that it’s infectious – gloriously exaggerated characters and plot are spiced by a dry wit which forbids one to take anything seriously at all
Joan Aiken is a storyteller par excellence with an educated awareness of nineteenth-century English fiction

One of those authentic storytellers who can make you gasp
