Kurzbiographie
Barbara Erskine says: I studied Scottish history at Edinburgh University and it was there that I began (and temporarily abandoned) my first attempt at a novel – the story which would one day become Kingdom of Shadows. Later while I worked for an educational publisher and then as a freelance researcher for books on art and history I began to sell short stories and to dream about becoming a full-time writer with a handful of historical Mills & Boons – a wonderful training in professionalism and in coming to terms with the horror of the deadline. At the same time while I was living in the Black Mountains near Hay-on-Wye in the Welsh Border March I started working on the research for Lady of Hay, at first as a part-time hobby and a barely formed idea, then with more and more urgency. Exactly 10 years after I first roughed out the story line, the book was finally published. That same year I found myself to my amazement and total terror talking about it on prime time TV and later doing a coast to coast tour of the USA. What had my dreams got me into.

Rezensionen

A thrilling story, woven through three periods of time. Liked the characters too. These last days, evere minute of my spare time was dedicated to the Rivers of Destiny. But - as you see, there is one star missing, because in my opinion, at the end of the story the author did not take enough time to resolve the woven knot of the different destinys and time levels, it is written in a quite slipshod way, I had expected a little bit more, some explanations maybe. But - on the other hand - it has been left to the phantasy of the readers and I am sure, that some readers will like it just the way it is.
But - I really con recommend this book and the author!
