Critical Praise

"Knox's narrative style draws much from the 19th century romance, with its lush writing and darkly wild settings. Yet Knox brings her own slant to the genre, allowing some of her characters to find solid placement in their frighteningly changing world."

——Los Angeles Times

"Lovely and evocative . . . Billie's Kiss would make Charlotte Brontë weep with envy."

——The Seattle Times

"DELICIOUS . . . The book deftly evokes turn-of-the-century Scotland, a windswept world of shushing petticoats, knowing butlers, and fractured class rule. . . . Like the heroines of Jane Austen and Charlotte Brontë, Billie can be opaque, wistful, and fabulously layered, literally and metaphorically."

——San Francisco Chronicle

"BILLIE IS AN APPEALING CHARACTER: sensuous, impulsive, and a bit mysterious. Sex and romance are rendered strikingly and erotically."

——The Washington Post
