by Louis de Bernieres
Lyrical and gorgeous. After Captain Corelli's Mandolin and Birds Without Wings, this novel had a lot to live up to. Yet de Bernieres never ceases to stun me with his command of language and his sad and unusual love stories. He takes nuances of human behaviour and offers insights into the human psyche to make unbelievable characters seem believable and challenge ideas of love, politics, history and society.
