Review
'A multifaceted tale about the consequences of religious intolerance, the expiation of guilt, the importance of family, and the appearance of unexpected love. And swordplay! The action sequences are as sharp and dazzling as Zachary's hand-forged blade.' Reading the Past
'This novel has a little bit of everything-romance, family secrets, and classic swash-buckling adventure' Lit Bitch Blog
'Deborah Swift is a master at bringing seventeenth-century England to life... the description is vibrant, the historical detail is fantastic, and the quality of the writing is superb.' Let them Read Books
'There is everything to admire in this novel - the crisp writing, the fully-realized characters -- but it's Swift's sensitive and vivid portrayal of the Moriscos that especially sets this novel apart. A Divided Inheritance achieves what all stellar historical fiction must: through the voices of imagined characters, important lessons from the past linger and haunt long after the book is finished.' Langum Prize winner Ann Weisgarber, author of The Personal History of Rachel DuPree
