Flaubert's Parrot deals with Flaubert, parrots, bears and railways; with our sense of the past and our sense of abroad; with France and England, life and art, sex and death, George Sand and Louise Colet, aesthetics and redcurrant jam; and with its enigmatic narrator, a retired English doctor, whose life and secrets are slowly revealed.

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
