Praise for Sarah Evans

‘Bernice Barry’s superb scholarship, vivid prose and profound interest in the rediscovery and revealing of forgotten women are all evident in a moving work that illuminates the present as much as the past. Effortlessly, Barry breathes life into this world. A poor maid, Sarah Evans, rises from its pages, heartbreakingly real, resilient and, most of all, a survivor. This novel is a rare treat.’
