A Partisan's Daughter

A triumph - a finely executed little masterpiece * Daily Mirror *It’s a glory…intensely moving…It’s a wise and moving novel, perfectly accomplished. It shows that no life is ordinary. It shines fresh light on the nature of love * Guardian *Sublimely funny and moving…by the time I’d finished this sleek little novel I’d laughed out loud numerous times and, eventually, cried. That’s as true a testimony to a book’s loveliness as I know * Independent *A striking and wise novel, deceptively slight yet emotionally profound * New Statesman *This is a silk stocking of a novel: fragile, light - and yet possessed of surprising tensile strength…making it look this simple is a real art * The Times *De Bernieres is a skilful writer, poetic but unforced, who can soothe you like a masseur, telling well-oiled stories of past excitements, and then just when you are drifting off, dexterously tweak a pressure point * Daily Telegraph *Attractive and completely compelling * Daily Mail *A beautifully written and compelling story * Sunday Express *De Bernière’s mellifluent, clear prose slips through the reader’s mind with efficient ease * The Times *By the end I was impressed, moved and touched * Spectator *
