William Boyd has probably written more classic books than any of his contemporaries * Daily Telegraph *
One of Britain's most celebrated contemporary novelists * Sunday Times *
Arguably one of Britain's finest living writers * Sunday Express *
Boyd is back on a form few of his contemporaries can match. This fine, touching and clever book is the best thing he's written since [Any Human Heart] and deserves similar adulation * Observer on Love Is Blind *
A finely judged performance: a deft and resonant alchemy of fact and fiction, of literary myth and imagination * Guardian on Love Is Blind *
Boyd on form is the ultimate in immersive fiction, and Love is Blind is Boyd at the top of his game . . . magnificent * Sunday Times *
