Valhalla
‘I read this novel with much pleasure. A good, sad story, atmospheric and vividly imagined, it brings to life a woman who had otherwise seemed frozen in history; its theme of royal duty still all too relevant. Highly enjoyable’ —Margaret Drabble
‘Clark takes an iconic and forbidding figure and transforms her into a passionate, loving and damaged woman. It’s a very moving tale he tells’ —Simon Russell Beale
‘Clark has breathed life into a remarkable woman whose soul is allowed to sip at love before it is all too rapidly snatched from her. This is a heart-breaking tale and no mistake. A beautiful and lyrical tale told with deft brilliance’ —John Sessions
‘Clark succeeds in bringing Queen Mary vividly to life: the passion and intelligence she was forced to keep out of sight, along with the melancholy of her secret regrets. Valhalla is a beautifully crafted novel that will stay with you long after you’ve finished reading it’ —Elizabeth Mac Donald
