REVIEWS for debut novel "THE SERPENT AND THE ROSE"
KIRKUS REVIEWS
"A sweeping but intimate story that highlights the author's clear attention to detail....." "Over the course of the novel, Butterfield employs diary-style from Marguerite's perspective that make for a brisk read, and Marguerite, despite her royal background, comes off as approachable and very human throughout."
CRITICS REVIEW - BOOKLIFE PRIZE 2024 -- 9.5 RANKING
"Butterfield writes with charming, witty pose, perfectly intoning the speech patterns of her characters and the era of the novel.
This novel sets itself apart through Butterfield's spotless prose and deeply thoughtful character studies; Marguerite is a powerhouse from the start, stunning in her intensity and relatability, and Butterfield perfectly balances her vulnerability with her growing skill and capacity to rule. Marguerite is alive with poise, vulnerability, and a sincerity that makes her breathtakingly real."
