The Narrow Road to the Deep North Reviews

Some years, very good books win the Man Booker Prize but this year a masterpiece has won it * A.C. Grayling, Chair of Judges, Man Booker Prize 2014 *
A novel of extraordinary power, deftly told and hugely affecting. A classic in the making... Masterful * Observer *
Devastatingly beautiful * Sunday Times *
Utterly convincing... A grand examination of what it is to be a good man and a bad man in the one flesh, and, above all, of how it is to live after survival... To say Flanagan creates a rich tapestry is to overly praise tapestries -- Thomas Keneally * Guardian *
Elegantly wrought, measured and without an ounce of melodrama, Flanagan's novel is nothing short of a masterpiece * Financial Times *
