“Holy Fools is a fantastic reading experience…. An adventure story, ripe with vivid characters, colorful performances, and seedy undercurrents…. Joanne Harris is a sensual writer with a keen historical perspective…. Like a deft acrobat, Harris dances and tumbles from one juicy description and cutting narration to the next, all the while building toward the dramatic climax.”
—Chicago Sun-Times
“Harris’s robust humor and whimsical fantasy suits this take of seventeenth-century France.”
—Juice
“Harris does a creditable job re-creating the atmosphere of a very distant time and place, and infuses it with a sharp…tale.”
—Kirkus Reviews
