The novel won the 2014 RITA Award for Best Historical Romance, the second year in a row that MacLean was honored in that category. According to Kathe Robin in Romantic Times, "this is not just a marvelous deep-sigh romance, but a story in which the intensity and profound significance linger long after the tale is done." In Library Journal, Barbara Hofffert said the book "can be profoundly unsettling" Patterson agreed, warning readers that the novel might leave them in tears. The Kirkus Reviews review noted the "compelling and complex characters", and Lezli Patterson singled out Mara as "one of the most intriguing and strongest heroines ever created".
