Delightful and enriching... A book to revel in
A gem: an unashamed literary novel that is also unashamed to be
readable, and broadly entertaining. Bravo!
Endless food for thought, beautifully written... A tour de
force
Unputdownable... A mesmeric original
A wry and graceful book... Unfailingly sharp and often very
funny
*Sunday Times*
A dazzling entertainer
*New Yorker*
Delightful and enriching... A book to revel in!
Julian Barnes' wry and graceful book, part novel, part stealthy
literary criticism, traces the marks Flaubert made on a forgetting
world. The writing is unfailingly sharp and often very funny, and
among the best prose I have read in years
*Sunday Times*
A delight... Handsomely the best novel published in England in
1984
*John Fowles*
A dazzling achievement...remarkably inventive as well as
audacious
*Walter Abish*
