“To read The Looking Glass...is to experience a succession of pleasures.” —The Washington Post Book World “Erotic tension blooms in sensual prose....[Roberts] has a gift for making the ordinary extraordinary.” —People “[A] hypnotically sensuous new novel....[Its] assured, image-rich language...adds up to a palpable immediacy, an intimacy not usually associated with historical fiction.” —Los Angeles Times“The Looking Glass holds up a mirror to the dark sources of creativity at every stage of its carefully interlocked narrative....The gorgeous surfaces of the world, its earthy passions, lend the novel a sensual texture...that reflects desire, glimpsing the springs of creativity and the contours of a bygone age.” —The New York Times Book Review -- Review
