Reviews

"A novel of ideas . . . with barely a sentence in it that doesn't have some nutritional value . . . I'll remember Elizabeth Finch when most other characters I've met this year have faded." --John Self, The Times (UK)

"A singular tale." --Daily Mail (UK)

Everything Barnes writes changes everything . . . Barnes's latest novel, must be read at least twice for the full force of its voltage to be felt . . . A cryptic crossword of a novel, Elizabeth Finch is a trickier and even brainier version of Flaubert's Parrot. --Frances Wilson, Oldie

The book's central and most enthralling section . . . deals with a figure Elizabeth Finch esteemed as a kindred spirit: Julian the Apostate . . . A bravura exercise in nimbly handled erudition . . . [Elizabeth Finch] also celebrates the cast of mind Barnes most prizes. A connoisseur and master of irony himself, he fills this book with instances of its exhilarating power. --Peter Kemp, Sunday Times

Elizabeth Finch ranks alongside Barnes' best. --Joshua Pugh Ginn, UK Press Syndication

A new novel from Booker Prize winner Julian Barnes is always a literary event, and Elizabeth Finch . . . is not different. Wistful, thought-provoking stuff. --Sunday Telegraph

This is . . . Julian Barnes . . . in his best ambitious high concept mode, serious and playful at once. --Lindsay Duguid, Tablet, *Novel of the Week*
