Mail on Sunday
An <b>exciting story</b> . . . Christine was cool, fascinating, graceful, secretive, alternating a vivid warmth with remoteness, a <b>lover of freedom and a law unto herself </b>
Daily Telegraph
This <b>biography, stark, earthy, uplifting and bloodstained,</b> deserves to be read even by those who are tired of war books. In Christine, Dostoyevsky, I suspect, would have found a heroine to his taste
