Critics Review

An utterly brilliant book… Carrère is a vivid guide and a knowledgeable one – Catherine Nixey * The Times *
A novelised memoir that vividly captures the drama of the Christian experience… A celebration of religious imagination - Catholic, French, Judaic, Hellenic - The Kingdom has been a runaway bestseller in France. In Britain, it may succeed as a relief and an antidote – John Cornwell * Financial Times *
There are few great writers in France today, and Emmanuel Carrère is one of them * Paris Review *
