What You Will by Katherine Bucknell

What You Will by Katherine Bucknell

An intimate portrait of London intellectual life, the breakdown of a marriage and the friendship between two women, What You Will draws the reader into a spellbinding world of beauty and tension.

Praise for ‘What You Will’:

'Bucknell takes her time in order to immerse us in her characters' lives and thoughtsThis is the book's chief strength and source of pleasure: its luxuriant, almost sensuous appreciation of the intellect. You don't get too many books like that these days; we're almost in Iris Murdoch or Saul Bellow territory here. There is a succession of quite delicious twists which show that Bucknell isn't afraid of being a good old–fashioned entertainer as well as a thoughtful one.’

'Bucknell's erudite prose relies on a close attention to her characters' thoughts' The Observer

'”What You Will” contains some beautifully realised passages.'
Observer

‘A dense, layered portrait of three people’s interlocking relations.’ Sylvia Brownrigg, TLS

‘A playfully serious novel with thoughts and ideas exploding like a storm of confetti.’ Sarah Dunant, Saturday Guardian
