Reseñas de la Crítica

A brilliant success... It is a passionate piece of writing as well as an immaculate example of storytelling

Compulsively readable

A splendid, lucid, profoundly satisfying work of art, a book which I want almost immediately to read again

Brilliant...an artist of great imaginative power

Marvellous 1969 novel... You can read this book again and again, always finding something new and always falling in love with the hapless Charles. (Val Hennessy)

The French Lieutenant’s Woman is immensely interesting, attractive and human

It has a cracking story, a real emotional heart and a good sense of humour

Outstanding performance

It would be weird to attempt to rate Fowles’ masterpiece, but the performance here is just amazing.

Well written

í liked the story and its complex characters. There is overly much of philosophical musings by the narrator aka the author himself and I cannot say I'm a fan of his wry ending. Beautiful performance. I recommend this book :)
