Daniel Martin by John Fowles
Set internationally and spanning three decades, Daniel Martin is, among other things, an exploration of what it is to be English. In a richly evoked narrative, Daniel travels home to reconcile with a dying friend, and also to visit his own forgotten past in an attempt to discover himself.

I find it disastrous to read any of John Fowles' books - once I pick one up, I cannot put it down so everything else gets ignored! * Daily Express *
It is filled with beguiling dramatic set-pieces - scenes from the protagonist's Devon childhood, a romantic idyll with a neighboring farm girl, a gently satirical send-up of Hollywood hedonism, some marvelous travel-writing about Egypt and Syria... An old-fashioned novel in the sense that one can enter and live in it * New York Times *
