A brilliant success... It is a passionate piece of writing as well as an immaculate example of storytelling * Financial Times * Compulsively readable * Irish Times * A splendid, lucid, profoundly satisfying work of art, a book which I want almost immediately to read again * New Statesman * Brilliant...an artist of great imaginative power * Sunday Times * Marvellous 1969 novel... You can read this book again and again, always finding something new and always falling in love with the hapless Charles. -- Val Hennessy * Daily Mail * The French Lieutenants Woman is immensely interesting, attractive and human * New York Times, 1969 * It has a cracking story, a real emotional heart and a good sense of humour * Guardian *
