Critical Praise

"Combining romantic fiction with an exploration of both Christianity and the labyrinths of the human spirit seems an almost impossible task, but time and time again Howatch has pulled it off.... She walks right into both the bedroom and the inner sanctum of the soul."

——Washington Post Book World

"Susan Howatch is back on familiar turf...[a] novel of emotional, psychological and spiritual exploration."

——The New York Times Book Review

"What would life be without Nicholas Darrow, [his] sidekick, Lewis Hall, perennially unsettled Venetia Flaxton?...Happily, all three are back in The Wonder Worker....Howatch is unsurpassed."

——Newsday

"She does it again in The Wonder Worker.... By book's end, you care so much about these lives....One hopes that this is the start of yet another great series."

——The Cleveland Plain Dealer
