Reviews for Burnt Norton
Captivating: an enthralling story of love and loss, jealousy, ambition, hope and despair
Joanna Lumley This dramatic story should be turned into a television series immediately... Terrific!'
Daily Mail
An authentic portrayal of 18th century aristocratic life turned into a pacey read. Could it be the next Downton Abbey?
