A fascinating study... Watling's protagonists are flawed but brave, battling fascism with guts. * Observer * Fascinating... Sarah Watling brings alive with great vividness a small cast of disparate characters who travelled to Spain during the Civil War ... Watling brings all these passionate characters together with great aplomb. * Daily Mail * Beautifully written. It evocatively and incisively weaves together the experiences of a select group of remarkable women in war... This book is not only very readable but also thought-provoking... The resonance of the book in our conflicted world is all too evident, existentially and morally. * Tablet * Group biographies are notoriously hard to write. But Watling knits together with considerable skill... She also intersperses her narrative with perceptive commentary. * Literary Review * A corrective to those more publicised accounts from male writers reporting on the civil war... She's particularly fine on the question of confrontation or evasion when it comes to great evils, that writing in times of crisis is not for fence-sitters. * The National *
