Review

"* "a learned and highly intelligent biography"-The Literary Review * "so colourful is the material and so shrewd Levi's eye for detail that this is an assured and enjoyable introduction to the cardinal that succeeds in its aim of showing how he made France"-Simon Sebag Montefiore, The Sunday Times * "concise, lucid, entertaining and continually absorbing in its portrait of an allegedly devout mystery wrapped in an enigma" - The Irish Times
