A wonderful epic novel
The Times
An emotional, funny, stunning novel which swings with wide smoothness between joy and bleakness, personal lives and history... It's lyrical and angry, satirical and earnest
Observer
A master of haunted realism. His best novel yet. He deals with death and love and tragedy... This is a novel to be prized
Daily Mail
Captain Corelli's Mandolin is a wonderful, hypnotic novel of fabulous scope and tremendous, iridescent charm - and you can quote me
Joseph Heller
Brims with all the grand topics of literature - love and death, heroism and skull-duggery, humor and pathos, not to mention art and religion... A good old-fashioned novel
Washington Post Book World
An exuberant mixture of history and romance, written with a wit that is incandescent
Los Angeles Times Book Review
Stunning...a high-spirited historical romance... Remarkable
New York Times Book Review
Louis de Bernières is the direct line that runs through Dickens and Evelyn Waugh... His novel will give pleasure to all sorts of readers
A.S. Byatt, Evening Standard
A true diamond of a novel, glinting with comedy and tragedy
