Reviews for The Great and the Good
'Quiet, wryly funny prose ... a delight' Independent on Sunday; 'It is shamefully parochial of us that this eminent writer has been so ignored by the anglophone world' Sunday Times; 'A big-hearted coming-of-age shaggy-dog story' The Spectator; 'Deserves a place alongside Flaubert's Sentimental Education and Le Grand Meaulnes' New Statesman; 'Deon is an outrageous storyteller' TLS
