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

Shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize for FictionFlaubert's Parrot deals with Flaubert, parrots, bears and railways; with our sense of the past and our sense of abroad; with France and England, life and art, sex and death, George Sand and Louise Colet, aesthetics and redcurrant jam; and with its enigmatic narrator, a retired English doctor, whose life and secrets are slowly revealed. A compelling weave of fiction and imaginatively ordered fact, Flaubert's Parrot is by turns moving and entertaining, witty and scholarly, and a tour de force of seductive originality.
