Latest reviews

  • “A propellent, engaging, complex work of literature that inhabits, rather than uses, its time period... Amanda, like history itself, is truly original.”
    — Chicago Review of Books, Sep 25 2025
  • “An intoxicating drama about two damaged individuals finding love in post-World War I England... Cross impresses with original descriptions and deft examinations of the agony and ecstasy of love. This is a book that appeals to hearts and minds.”
    — Minneapolis Star Tribune, Sep 25 2025
  • “A historical romance of a grand, old-fashioned and very British variety, with hints of L.P. Hartley, D.H. Lawrence and Evelyn Waugh—an impressive feat.”
    — The New York Times Book Review, Sep 21 2025
  • “Cross writes with an eloquent lyrical tone that penetrates through the storyline for a profound literary work.”
    — Booklist, Sep 1 2025
  • “Sizzling with restrained eroticism, Amanda is about two lovers driven apart by secrets and brought together again by irrepressible need... A scintillating historical novel about the potential revival of a star-crossed love.”

    — Foreword Reviews, Aug 4 2025
  • “Cross delivers an intense psychological drama set in the aftermath of WWI, when an English headmaster searches for the woman he fell for when he was at Oxford. It’s a nuanced tale of love and loss.”
    — Publishers Weekly, Jul 15 2025
  • ★ “That Cross’ voice—some combination of Edna O’Brien, Muriel Spark, and maybe a pinch of Jane Austen—comes from a contemporary American writer is hard to believe. Mesmerizing, haunting, hopeful.”
    — Kirkus Reviews, Jun 17 2025
