Critics Review
Comic, tragic, erotic and elegiac. His finest work
Comic, tragic, erotic and elegiac. His finest work * Mail on Sunday *Touching and comic… Magical * Scotsman *A poetic novel of love, family and loss… A work so exquisitely written, so diamond-clear, that critics are already hailing it as Oz’s finest work… A writer of revelatory genius * Guardian *Beautiful and profoundly wise. Very few works of fiction are written with such economy, simplicity and precision that a reviewer simply wants to quote from them… The Same Sea is such a book. Amos Oz has created an unforgettable work of art * Daily Telegraph *A cleansing, poetic, meditative and moving novel * Herald *By turns lyrical and earthy, Amos Oz’s The Same Sea dances its way through the entanglements of its characters, deftly catching each voice * Esquire *Short and exquisite… An extraordinary book unlike any he has written. It is a banquet in miniature * Evening Standard *
