Critics Review
William Boyd has probably written more classic books than any of his contemporaries * Daily Telegraph *One of Britain’s most celebrated contemporary novelists * Sunday Times *Arguably one of Britain’s finest living writers * Sunday Express *Boyd is back on a form few of his contemporaries can match. This fine, touching and clever book is the best thing he’s written since [Any Human Heart] and deserves similar adulation * Observer on Love Is Blind *A finely judged performance: a deft and resonant alchemy of fact and fiction, of literary myth and imagination * Guardian on Love Is Blind *Boyd on form is the ultimate in immersive fiction, and Love is Blind is Boyd at the top of his game … magnificent * Sunday Times *
