Media reviews

“Michael Farquhar doesn’t write about history the way, say, Doris Kearns Goodwin does. He writes about history the way Doris Kearns Goodwin’s smart-ass, reprobate kid brother might. I, for one, prefer it.”—Gene Weingarten, two-time Pulitzer Prize winner and Washington Post columnist
 
Praise for Michael Farquhar’s Behind the Palace Doors
 
“[A] rollicking account of kings and queens gone wild.”—People
 
“Farquhar’s style is a breezy pleasure throughout.”—Publishers Weekly
