Critics Review
A superb novel
Written with the characteristic brilliance and the particular flair for poetic detail that so distinguishes his books, Edmund White’s new novel is arguably his best to date… Heartbreakingly beautiful prose, so elegantly achieved it has the ring of a master…marvellously life-affirming… In short, nothing less than brilliant * The Times *
A superb novel * Evening Standard *
Undoubtedly one of his best novels. The prose is lyrical…writing that is truly supple, adapting itself to comedy or tragedy as required * Sunday Times *
The Married Man is Edmund White at his quintessential best * Sunday Telegraph *
Poignant and challenging… Candid and often painfully personal… A love story, yet with an ambition and sweep that make it much more than that…subtle, complex, unsparing and profound * Daily Telegraph *
