Review
The Perfect Travelling Companion From Departure Lounge To Land
By Victoria Mather

THE DAILY MAIL - 22nd March 2002

Santa Montefiore is such a refreshing writer. She has imagination, charm and delicacy and her second novel, THE BUTTERFLY BOX, is sensual not sensational, vivid but not vapid. Santa is the new Rosamunde Pilcher, and she is warming up to be Daphne de Maurier, but more fun.

THE BUTTERFLY BOX has a cracking beginning and that vital spark of light fiction: an ability to attract the reader to the central character like a moth to a flame This book is so refreshing, and so delightfully written, Montefiore can travel with me anytime.
