PRAISE FOR HILDA LEWIS: 'Hilda Lewis is not only mistress of her subject, but has the power to vitalise it' THE DAILY TELEGRAPH; 'A born storyteller' THE YORKSHIRE POST.  Praise for Hilda Lewis's Wife to the Bastard: 'The private life of William the Conqueror and his wife Matilda of Flanders... convincingly worked out, and the historical background carefully painted in' THE DAILY TELEGRAPH; 'Matilda, wife to William the Conqueror, is painstakingly depicted through her deflowering, marriage, much child-bearing, some jealous violence and repentance... well documented historical fiction' THE OBSERVER; 'A work of quiet distinction... her subject is treated well and movingly, with dignity and insight' THE SUNDAY TIMES; 'A spankingly good story about Matilda, whom the legends call gentle but she calls a good deal more' THE SPECTATOR.
