Recenzii
The title suggests a rollicking tale and a rollicking tale is what you get, full of twists and surprises and never a dull moment. Entertainingly wild
I adore Valerie Martin, and Mrs Gulliver is no exception. Pure elegance, subtlety and wit. A triumph of a novel
Irresistible - a funny, sexy romp that's also smart, even wise
An elegant, deftly crafted tale
Brilliant
A quirky and enjoyable twist on an old story with plenty of plot and thematic oomph. Rich in unabashed raunchiness, it toys with feminist tropes and hands us a heroine who is superficially fragile, yet very much in command of her own destiny
Captivating ... In Mrs. Gulliver, Valerie Martin offers us an idyll, perhaps even a comedy. All's well that ends well. We hope
Martin's surprisingly playful latest observes two strong-willed women as they make the best of their initially unfortunate lives ... it's a pleasure to get to know both of her intelligent and resourceful heroines
This is an excellent character-written novel. You get invested in their lives, and want to read along and see what happens to them. You will not want to put this one down
Refreshing and completely different - I loved it as soon as I started reading. I love how Valerie Martin writes and was totally engrossed by the story of these strong unconventional women and the men they vanquish - so thought-provoking, so quirky, so well realised
An unexpected and witty novel examining the eternal inequalities embedded in this particular trade
Lila is a beguiling narrator, offering often shrewd observations, and Carita is an appealingly canny protagonist
An intriguing, well-written gem, it slips down as sweetly as a sonnet
Praise for Valerie Martin
Martin's writing is a reward in itself, a wonderful precision-tool. She uses it to chisel at the human condition - and the effect is astonishing
Valerie Martin is a fleet-footed writer; you never quite know where she'll go next
Few have written so surprisingly, so convincingly as Valerie Martin about sexual obsession and the perverse twistings of the human heart
[Martin's] writing - so prized and clean limbed - is a marvel
Valerie Martin is one of the best novelists we have
The generosity of Martin's understanding opens every character to the full, astounding range of human possibility. Her revelations build mesmerizing excitement, a surprising kindness, and an unexpected sanity in the darkness
An enrapturing and ruthless storyteller, Valerie Martin possesses a predator's ability to mesmerize her prey . . . Martin's tales of betrayal, obsession, connivance, and failure put the firepower back into art
Martin is a vibrant force in American fiction
