I found myself bathing in the wonderful descriptions . . . Newbery writes with grace and immediacy
—— Vivien Hamilton , Daily TelegraphA gothic romance dealing with the most taboo subject of all . . . Newbery has created a climactic period story, compelling in its description and psychological drama . . . the relationship between art and life is starkly framed
—— Elaine Williams , TES TeacherUnfolds with horrific credibility and total suspense
—— Gill Roberts , CarouselThis novel calls to mind the writings of the Bronte sisters . . . Despite or maybe because of the author seeming so unconcerned with current trends, this book works on every level. The plot is full of twists, the charcters are multi-dimensional, and the atmosphere of that grand Victorian house, with all its intrigue and hierarchy, is electric. Set in Stone is a gripping page-turner for children and adults alike
