'Hickman has given us a Turkish delight of a novel that should win her legions of fans'
Joanna Harris, author of Chocolat
'A hugely enjoyable novel, multi-layered, vividly depicted and a fascinating story, filled with the colours, sights and scents of Constantinople in the 16th century. This story is at the same time fast moving, complex and deeply satisfying.'
Eve
'This cleverly written escapist novel looks set to turn Hickman into the next Philippa Gregory.'
Azar Nafisi, author of Reading Lolita in Tehran
'The Aviary Gate reminds us of the fact that Katie Hickman is first and foremost a vibrant story-teller who writes mainly because of the pure joy of weaving stories, be they historical or as in this case fictional accounts. And for that, I am very grateful to her.'
The Independent
'Dear reader, lie back on your ottoman and relax. Katie Hickman will take you to a magical land, the Topkapi harem in Istanbul in 1599.'
The Daily Mail
'Teasing, erotic, suspenseful and expertly done.'
Maureen Freely, Guardian
`If your taste runs to quality historical romances, The Aviary Gate takes you into the Harem to follow the fortunes of an Englishwoman who becomes the Sultan's slave in 1599.'
Elizabeth Stavely sits in the Bodleian Library, her hands trembling as she holds a fragment of parchment, the key to a story untold for four hundred years Constantinople 1599: the English merchant Paul Pindar must deliver an extraordinary gift to the Sultan. Grieving for his lost love, drowned in a shipwreck, he hears rumours of a new golden-haired slave in the Sultan's harem. Could this be his Celia?
