International Reviews

Germany: 'Bemerkenswert ist auch das Verständnis der Highland-Schotten in Bezug auf Familie, Gleichberechtigung, Sexualität und Ehe, sowie auf die Gastfreundschaft, die selbst dem ärgsten Feind und bei eigener, tiefster Armut gewährt wurde. Downright progressive compared with the rather cramped view of our modern society on these issues.' Histo-Couch

'The type and intensity of social, physical, sexual and political freedom that Janet Paisley impressively describes in her book have won women across Europe' Monika Höpfer. Others: Salome-online - Lesenrockt - Paperblog

'A captivating novel set against the dramatic backdrop of the Scottish struggle for independence.'Buchcouch

Portugal: 'The result of a careful historical research, and with remarkable skill, Janet Paisley has created an extraordinary story de amor, conflito, lealdade e traição que se lê compulsivamente. Uma sensual aventura histórica, repleta de emoção, protagonizada por uma heroína apaixonada e irresistível'. O Meu Vicio

Não existem palavras suficientes para descrever este livro, esta história que nos marca profundamente, que nos mostra o quanto as mentalidades são retrógradas e mesquinhas e, nos faz entender que o amor só pode ser construído pelo respeito e pela liberdade de cada um. In a word: WONDERFUL! Cloroformia do Espirito

'intense… surprising and breathtaking! ADOREI este livro! Não esperava que fosse tão intenso, mas foi de uma maneira surpreendente e arrebatadora! Muitas foram as vezes que chorei de raiva, impotência e medo mas também foram muitas as vezes que sorri com o carinho e o amor que transbordava em cada página.'Mil Estrelas No Colo Others: Crepúsculo Flor - Betita Bookshelf - Viver a Leitura - Portugal Creative

Brazil: 'I loved White Rose Rebel' Lenda nas Entrelinhas Em meio a um confronto bélico pungente, a Rosa Branca vive um amor autêntico e intenso, mas será este sentimento capaz de aliar lados opostos? Info Escola

Great book. Cacau (I) could not help but remember the colonization of Brazil and what the Portuguese did to the Indians in our land. Nessa News a wonderfully interesting story full of drama. Gossip
