In his new mantle as Sith Lord, Jacen Solo's dark powers reach a peak as he continues to crush opposition across the warring galaxy and bring his dream of a new order closer to fruition. But those who once fought at his side now turn against him, and as his unexpected enemies rally to the confederacy, Ben Skywalker discovers the full and terrible truth of how his mother died.
Trollope at her best
—— SpectatorUndeniably warmhearted and socially topical...above all a novel filled with good advice
—— ObserverTruly, I couldn't put it down. I'm telling you, Trollope is a significant chronicler
—— Daily MailTrollope has a keen ear for the yelps of distress, as lives are sliced in half by shabby betrayal... A book that is as enjoyable as it is thoughtful
—— The TimesTrollope's bleakest and most satisfying work to date
—— The Sunday TimesAt times funny, at others achingly sad, this book will cheer you and charm you
—— SheCommonly thought of as 'romantic', but try rereading it without being astonished by the comfortableness with which Brontë's characters subject one another to extremes of physical and psychological violence
—— Sarah WatersLambasted when it came out as irredeemably perverse and, I quote, as practically "French"'
—— A. L. KennedyThe greatest love story ever told, Heathcliff the hero being a wild, stormy, gothic fellow who will not rest until his beloved Cathy is in his arms again, even though she died some years previously. My favourite moment comes when he bribes the sexton who buried Cathy to bury him next to her, with the sides of their coffins left open, so when they're dug up 50 years hence nobody will know which bones are his, and which are hers
—— Patrick McGrathThis beautifully designed box-set of four acclaimed novels by the Bronte sisters had me engrossed in Wuthering Heights for the first tie since my school days .... Marvellous
—— Daily MailA good story, flourishing characters, and the most persuasive narrative voice
—— GuardianA classic tale of the triumph of youthful naivety over middle-aged cynicism
—— Good Book GuideClassic coming of age novel
—— Oxford Times
