Review:
'A brilliant fictional evocation of a time that's usually given short shrift in history books ... At the core of The Gathering Night is a very human story, a complex tale of love, revenge, murder and honour, a book that managed to be both gripping in terms of plot, engaging with character psychology and a hugely evocative exploration of time and place.'
