“A wonderful book--rich, authentic, beautifully written and, yes, passionate.” —Tracy Chevalier, author of Girl with a Pearl Earring

“This is a remarkable book. As the title suggests, it's about love and lust, but Passion concerns itself in almost greater measure with those romantic yearnings by which men and women live and for which they are willing to die.” —The Washington Post Book World (One of the best books of 2005)

“Deeply imagined and gorgeously written.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review)

“With empathy and formidable imagination, Morgan brings these iconic females---and the Romantic era---to full, resplendent life.” —Entertainment Weekly (editor's choice, grade A)

“I loved Jude Morgan's Passion, which seems to me to achieve exactly what historical fiction is for, namely to illuminate the past to the present... Compellingly written, and stylish with it.” —Joanna Trollope, author of Brother and Sister

“I can't remember when I last read a book that was so elegantly and stylishly written and yet at the same time so absolutely engrossing and compelling.” —Diane Pearson, author of The Summer of the Barshinskeys
