Media reviews

"Brims with all the grand topics of literature — love and death, heroism and skull-duggery, humor and pathos, not to mention art and religion…A good old-fashioned novel."
—Washington Post Book World

"An exuberant mixture of history and romance, written with a wit that is incandescent"
—Los Angeles Times Book Review

"Stunning…A high-spirited historical romance…Remarkable."
—The New York Times Book Review

"His novel will give pleasure to all sorts of readers. It is also so good that it will last."
—A.S. Byatt writing in Evening Standard

"Captain Corelli’s Mandolin is an emotional, funny, stunning novel which swings with wide smoothness between joy and bleakness, personal lives and history…it’s lyrical and angry, satirical and earnest."
—Observer

"A wonderful, hypnotic novel of fabulous scope and tremendous iridescent charm."
—Joseph Heller

"It is funny, heartbreaking, and horrifying in its fictional testimony….Captain Corelli's Mandolin, delightful and sad, comic and at the same time nearly unbearable in its portrayal of European darkness during the war, is a tour de force depiction of the triumph of life over evil by one of Europe's great comic writers of our time."
—Booklist

"Dazzling.…a fabulous book in the tradition of Tolstoy and Dickens.…So joyous and heartbreaking, so rich and musical and wise, that reading it is like discovering anew the enchanting power of fiction."
—San Francisco Chronicle
