Omschrijving
Just about the perfect summer read. It is intelligent and thought-provoking, but also a lot of fun. Reading hours fly by and reaching the final page feels like a genuine wrench
Just about the perfect summer read. It is intelligent and thought-provoking, but also a lot of fun. Reading hours fly by and reaching the final page feels like a genuine wrench
Ambitious, large-hearted, exhilarating novel that leaves you wanting more . . . Very, very funny
Beautiful Ruins is a novel unlike any other you're likely to read this year
Romantic, very funny...Turbo-charged satire meets a Garcia Marquezesque love story. What's not to like?
Walter creates an epic here - one that took him 15 years to write. The end result, however, is well worth the wait
A sparkling summer read
Thoroughly enjoyable, a tender, funny, ridiculous tale which has love at its core and a keen satirical edge to cut through the lovely, lush romanticism
You're going to love this book
A brilliant, madcap meditation on fate
A novel shot in sparkly Technicolor
The beach read of the summer
Hilarious and compelling
Magic. Walter is a believer in capricious destiny with a fine, freewheeling sense of humour . . . A monument to crazy love with a deeply romantic heart
Poignant, comical and marvellous
Larger-than-life characters, billowy romance and crafty satire ... Any book that includes Richard Burton as a character is fine by us
Cinematic and utterly romantic . . . the big beach read for summer
My absolute favourite read this year
A bravura feat
Walter's account of the filming of the Burton/Taylor classic Cleopatra is a playful imagining of emotional history and hidden lives just out of view. Be warned, this is a novel that may make any festive guests somewhat anti-social as I read it in two days flat
Jess Walter is the author of six novels, including The Financial Lives of the Poets and The Cold Millions. Beautiful Ruins was a New York Times bestseller, and We Live in Water was one of Barack Obama's books of 2019. Jess Walter lives in Spokane, Washington with his family.
