Reviews

THE LIGHT IN THE LABYRINTH has been honoured with the B.R.A.G.Medallion (Book Readers Appreciation Group). It now joins the very select award-winning, reader-recommended books at indieBRAG.
The Light in the Labyrinth offers a powerful new perspective on the tragic life of Anne Boleyn. Told from the point of view of Anne's young niece, newly arrived at the court of Henry VIII, it presents an original, sympathetic and moving portrait of the queen's final days and offers new insights into the lives and relationships of women in Tudor England" - Dr Julian Novitz, award winning author of My Real Life and Other Stories and Little Sister. "...The Light in the Labyrinth is quite the read - no matter the age of the reader. And yes, thanks to Kate, a new voice has been added to the well-known haunting melody - a voice that mellows and matures as the story evolves and yet retains a touch of bittersweet innocence right to the bloody, inevitable end" - Anna Belfrage for The Review."...I never felt like I was reading a teen read. Although it is a historical novel with a 16th century heroine, its themes will resonate with a teen audience - identity, self-discovery, family issues/step-parents, love, betrayal and loss - and any lover of historical fiction will enjoy revisiting Anne's fall from a different perspective" Claire Ridgway, Author and Tudor history buff."It is exactly the type of novel that draws youth into a life-long love of history" Beth von Staats.
