The Dust that Falls from Dreams

A feast of a novel . This book is very much a hit

John Sutherland, The Times

Louis de Bernieres is in the direct line that runs through Dickens and Evelyn Waugh... he has only to look into his world, one senses, for it to rush into reality, colours and touch and taste

Evening Standard

This, [De Bernieres]' eighth novel, proves that he can and is still producing Good Things

Fiona Wilson, The Times

A richly rewarding read

Vanessa Berridge, Daily Express

De Bernieres is an astute observer of the human heart, and his account of an idealistic young woman learning to live in the real world is beautifully observed

Mail on Sunday

It's a book in which readers will happily immerse themselves, and one which will surely and deservedly be a bestseller

Allan Massie, Scotsman

Rhapsodic, wistful and with more than a touch of whimsy. It's pure escapism of the very highest quality

Jeffrey Taylor, 4 stars, Sunday Express

[A] charming and quietly moving tale

Christian House, 4 stars, Sunday Telegraph

Another epic novel of love and loss

Woman and Home

Moving

Bert Wright, Nudge

The comparisons with his Captain Corelli's Mandolin are happily justified

Micyael Conagyan, Belfast Telegraph Morning

Magnificent and moving

MrsD-Daily

Magnificent and moving.

This is a novel suffused with warmth and humour as it follows the threads of love and family ties. It is a pleasure to follow these characters through the tumultuous times in which they live. a well-told and engrossing story, bringing back to life a generation who are slipping from our collective memory.
