THE TAILOR'S DAUGHTER
"Graham is always and abundantly a good time... the sheer generosity of her invention, and her unfailing ability to create believable characters of every ilk, from the tepid to the grotesque, are nothing short of stunning."

Booklist
ROMANCING MISS BRONTE
(written as Juliet Gael)
"A moving view of a literary giant and the emotion that fueled her work
.
"
– Booklist
"Although the narrative hews very closely to the known facts, it is to Gael's credit that she not only builds suspense around these questions but also draws a tear when we learn Charlotte's eventual fate. A must-read for Bronte aficionados and anyone interested in the lives and concerns of Victorian women."
–
Kirkus
"Gael makes Charlotte's transformation... and the revelations about Arthur's character as interesting as the earlier turmoil that dominates many novels about the famous family. Bronte devotees and those interested in British literary life will enjoy this novel, which also has book club potential."
– Library Journal
"A fascinating page turner, full of compassion and insight, entirely worthy of its mighty subjects."
– Theresa Rebeck, author of
Three Girls and Their Brother
