Richly and densely textured, serious, intelligent, passionately written, and with more than a hint of gothic, the story pushes the reader to examine its central point: who are the savages?
Elizabeth Buchan, Sunday Times
The book is vivid with historical details, the characters intense with drama and feeling... A story to lose yourself in, an intense and satisfying read
Sarah Vine, The Times
Well told, and well paced, with an easy narrative flow. The story offers strong personalities and a complicated, interesting plot...I felt secure in the accuracy of her picture of the time and place... Clare Clark's story and her history ring absolutely and very sadly true
Ursula K Le Guin, Guardian
Intricately plotted and thick with intrigue, Savage Lands gives us an insight into an overlooked era
Stephanie Bishop, Times Literary Supplement
Clare Clark writes with the eyes of a historian and the soul of a novelist.
Amanda Foreman
Vigorous and intense, energetic and absorbing
Hilary Mantel
This densely textured story forces readers to ask: who are the savages?
Elizabeth Buchan, Sunday Times Culture
As Clare Clark's third novel so lushly illustrates, Louisiana has never been the safest place to live... this eye-opening account of Louisiana's early history conjures up a nicely gothic landscape
Emma Hagestadt, Independent
