Fowles' magnum opus further bolsters his reputation for innovative, passionately imagined storytelling

Set internationally and spanning three decades, Daniel Martin is, among other things, an exploration of what it is to be English. Daniel is a screenwriter working in Hollywood, who finds himself dissatisfied with his career and with the person he has become. 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.

Praise for Daniel Martin

A work of imaginative energy and passionate honesty
The Times

An instant masterpiece. It is a tour de force of stamina and subtlety
Daily Telegraph

A descriptive writer of great power
Independent

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!
Judi Dench, 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
