Wanting by Richard Flanagan
A novel of magnificent power and reach from one of the most original and impressive novelists working in the English language today - and winner of the Man Booker Prize 2014
One of the best novels of this year.. Flanagan's cast of virtuoso characters... are vivid, memorable beings, burnt into the retina of the imagination long after the novel comes to an end... An irresistibly good story. * Rachel Holmes, The Times *
In confident, expert hands, fiction can liberate the past... Richard Flanagan is an exemplary case in point. Through his fiction, flat, conformist portraits of individuals become rich and three-dimensional, new witnesses provide fresh testimony about the past, and Tasmania's silences resound with voices. * William Boyd, New York Times Book Review *
The best novel I have read this year or expect to read for several more * Sydney Morning Herald *
Exquisite, profoundly moving, intricately structured * Los Angeles Times *
Brilliant... A captivating tale of cruelty and disappointment... Dazzling * Ron Charles, Washington Post *
