Advance praise for The Conjurer’s Bird
“Elegantly written and exquisitely researched, The Conjurer’s Bird is an engrossing read, a true page-turner as its story twines through past and present. I hated to put it down until the final revelation. Anyone who loved such books as Possession or Girl with a Pearl Earring should be delighted by The Conjurer’s Bird.” —India Edghill, author of Queenmaker and Wisdom’s Daughter
“Like all the best novels, The Conjurer’s Bird left me with the sense of having learned something. . . . Poignant and beguiling.” —Andrew Taylor, author of An Unpardonable Crime
“[A] gripping book of literary suspense. . . . Davies indulges in clever speculation about the bird’s whereabouts and adds an appealing strain of romance surrounding the identity of Banks’s mistress. . . . A captivating novel.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review)
