Reviews for Flaubert´s Parrot
Delightful and enriching... A book to revel in A gem: an unashamed literary novel that is also unashamed to be readable, and broadly entertaining. Bravo! Endless food for thought, beautifully written... A tour de force Unputdownable... A mesmeric original A wry and graceful book... Unfailingly sharp and often very funny
