Jane Johnson writes the sort of books you want to tell everyone
about – they hook you from the first page and sweep you along with
passion, history and romance. I'm addicted

Full of intrigue, deceit, skulduggery and murder. It has romance in
it, but also heartbreak and personal tragedy. It's deeply evocative
of North Africa – the sights, the smells, the culture, but there
are also great depictions of London at the time, and the court of
Charles II. I really enjoyed it

Deftly recreating the court intrigue of the tyrannical Moroccan
Sultan Moulay Ismail – with all its trappings of superstition,
black magic and torture – it sucks you down through interleaving
layers steeped in blood, sweat and raw adrenalin, to a mesmerising
bedrock of real history... The Sultan's Wife gets inside you,
conjuring its magic long after you read the last line'
*Tahir Shah*
Gripping and evocative. An utterly compelling story
*Stuart MacBride*
An irresistible page turner – I loved it
*Barbara Erskine*
