"Fantastic, fatnastic, fantastic rollercoaster of a novel. Literary, beautifully written, compelling and addresses victorian sexual politics in a masterful fashion."
"Such a fully realised novel that the world of Garp never leaves you. As well as the nature of marriage, family and fidelity, Irving's representation of extreme feminist movements is one to think about"
"I loved this book more than I can describe. Perhaps it was the deep understanding of the motivations of a great artist, and the godliness that surrounds creation."
"Oh, this was good. Again, a strongly atmospheric book that transported to me to its remote fishing community and the depth of characterisation is lovely."
