Review:
Moore paints a fresh, vivid picture of the age * GOOD BOOK GUIDE * rip-roaring * SUNDAY EVENING POST * This lurid tale of high-society sadism grips from the first page. * INDEPENDENT * gripping and meticulous * DAILY TELEGRAPH * Beginning with a bloody duel and the deathbed marriage of one of the combatants, this torrent of a biography sweeps the reader along... Mary's prolonged, audacious struggle to extricate herself from this marriage is a natch for Hollywood. * INDEPENDENT * 'Wendy Moore tells her tale with gusto' * SUNDAY TELEGRAPH * 'Moore fashions a gripping narrative' * SUNDAY TIMES * Moore, mistress of suspense, writes in the gripping language of a thriller...This book has it all - the blackest of villains, the strongest friendship, kidnap, abortions, riches and all completely true. * OBSERVER * Biography needs more Wendy Moores * NEW YORK TIMES * Gallops headlong towards an unbelievably tense denouement which any work of Hollywood fiction would struggle to match * SCOTLAND ON SUNDAY * Moore has meticulously constructed an ever more compelling tale * GUARDIAN * Mary's escape, her abduction by Stoney and dramatic rescue are grippingly told * INDEPENDENT * Mesmerising . . . entertainingly digressive and rigorously researched * FINANCIAL TIMES * How Mary, with the help of a loyal servant, struggled to escape Stoney's clutches is the breathless and inspirational climax of this fine book * TIMES * The remarkable story of one woman's triumph over years of appalling violence and abuse * DAILY EXPRESS * Wedlock is the best biography that I have read in a long time. It's gripping, addictive and painstakingly researched * MAIL ON SUNDAY * This splendid book, well researched and richly detailed, is as gripping as any novel * DAILY TELEGRAPH *
