THE SEALED LETTER
“[THE SEALED LETTER] has style and scandal to burn. Donoghue’s elegantly styled, richly woven tale absorbs the everyday lives of Victorian women...in a colorful tapestry of spiraling intrigue, innuendo, speculation and mystery.”
– Publishers Weekly

“Donoghue does not merely fill (her) books with interesting facts about historical England; she seems to inhabit the place. This is wonderful soapy entertainment, but Donoghue infuses it with something more.”
– Houston Chronicle

“Donoghue uses both the color of the period and its literary devices to create rich, complex and remarkably powerful stories. Profoundly entertaining and intelligent.”
– Elle

“Donoghue paints a spirited picture...impossible to resist. Fabulous!”
– The New York Times Book Review

“Donoghue is a real writer, and she’s elevated her racy story close to art.”
– The Washington Post Book World
