Arthur & George by Julian Barnes

Arthur & George by Julian Barnes

Arthur and George grow up worlds apart in late nineteenth-century Britain: Arthur in shabby-genteel Edinburgh, George in the vicarage of Staffordshire village. Arthur is to become one of the most famous men of his age, while George remains in hard-working obscurity. But as the new century begins, they are brought together by a sequence of events.

A beautiful and engrossing work * Independent on Sunday *
Richly accomplished.. Dazzling * Sunday Times *
Excellent... Meticulously researched and vividly imagined, both gripping and thoughtful * Sunday Telegraph *
From the first paragraphs we know ourselves to be in the hands of a major novelist... A compelling narrative, beautifully controlled... This novel is Barnes at his best -- P D James * The Times *
As ever, Barnes serves up a master-class in character observation, lavishing attention on the minutiae of personality, the subtle and conflicting impulses that drive men and women. Barnes seems equipped to write with humour and elegance about anything he turns his attention to * Financial Times *
