Shogun

My bet for the most satisfyingly popular novel of the year … It has power, it has violence, subtlety and lots, lots more … Clavell never puts a foot wrong … Get it, read it, you’ll enjoy it mightily - Daily Mirror

SHOGUN is a huge exotic, blood-stained canvas of sixteenth century but still medieval Japan, rival warlords and proselytising Jesuits, geishas, seppuku, samurai with the death-with and a shipwrecked Elizabethan - Guardian

Unquestionably the best historical novel of its kind since Anthony Adverse - Los Angeles Times

I can’t remember when a novel has seized my mind like this one. It’s irresistable, maybe unforgettable. Clavell … creates a world so enveloping you forget who and where you are - New York Times

Mr Clavell tells his story brilliantly - The Times

One of the great page turners of all time - Good Book Guide
