Loving, Living, Party Going

Green paints an unforgettable portrait of a doomed, amoral world whose characters, trapped in the fog, are somehow waltzing blithely towards oblivion...cinematic in its intensity

Robert McCrum, Guardian

Heartbreaking, funny and written with such luminous prose - he's the most brilliant, and neglected, of English writers

Red Magazine

Perhaps the best introduction to another great original of the English novel, who learned from Firbank’s economy, but who had his own quite different imaginative world. Loving, set among the servants of an Irish country house, combines his superbly truthful ear for how people really speak with an unforgettable vein of surreal poetry

Alan Hollinghurst, New York Times

The most original, the best writer of his time

Rebecca West

The most gifted prose writer of his generation

V. S. Pritchett

Green's books remain as solid and glittering as gems- They are not, like so many contemporary novels, mere slices of life but highly successful attempts at making art give meaning to life

Anthony Burgess

About Henry Green, however, there’s an irreducible, longstanding excitement among the few who have read him... With Green, we’re presented with a singular kind of artist who, like the poets of ancient India and Greece, has nothing to offer us but delight. We don’t know what to do with such a writer
