"Winter on the Plain of Ghosts may be the only historical fantasy novel that's ever been written about
the ancient city of Mohenjo-daro (in what is now Pakistan). This strange, atmospheric setting with its unfamiliar
culture makes an entirely fascinating backdrop to a strong narrative."
Donna McMahon, The SFSite
"A surprisingly effective historical novel/fantasy that takes place in the Indus River valley
before the time described in the Rig-Veda. Nuanced, intriguing in theme, and balanced in its application of
historical research."
BiblioTravel
"Using her wonderful ability to paint with the English language, Kernaghan creates a richly textured,
vibrantly realized canvas of despair, poverty, hope, redemption and ultimately social upheaval."
Yet Another Book Review Site
"Kernaghan takes (a) somewhat abstract historical notion - the reasons why an entire civilization would
disintegrate - and works narrative magic.
Challenging Destiny
"Winter on the Plain of Ghosts is the very highest form of speculation, filling in with believable
possibilities where no actual knowledge exists."
