The Good Soldier Avis

The narrative casts a mesmeric spell... intelligent, beautifully written, heartfelt and true, and a great book * Sunday Times *
I would rather have written Ford Madox Ford's novel than all the books I have written. After reading it a dozen times, I still find a mystery at its heart... an exercise in elegance and a triumph of structure. I am always imitating it and always failing. The prose makes my heart ache with envy -- Ruth Rendell * Guardian *
An astounding novel * The Times *
Sometimes the best presents come in small packages...masterful * Daily Telegraph *
A central figure, artistically and influentially, in the modern movement...a masterpiece of Impressionism, as well as of intricate plotting, technical manipulation and powerful irony * Guardian *
