Reviews
"Precise, elegant, enchanting." --Elle "Utterly absorbing, beautifully crafted . . .Arthur & George, rich and immensely readable, perfectly balances [its] radically different characters in a stream of flawless, driving sentences. The book is also sustained by Barnes's affectionate understanding of England's halting commitment both to art and to justice. This is an "English" novel in the most engaging sense of the word, and a great one." --Vince Passaro,O Magazine "A beautiful, modulated work; highly recommended." --Barbara Hoffert,Library Journal,starred review "In this combination psychological novel, detective story and literary thriller, Barnes elegantly dissects early 20th-century English society as he spins this true-life story with subtle and restrained irony . . . Shortlisted for the Booker, this novel about love, guilt, identity and honor is a triumph of storytelling, taking the form Barnes perfected inFlaubert's Parrotand stretching it yet again." --Publishers Weekly,starred review "Enthralling . . . Deeply satisfying . . . With a mystery at the heart of the narrative, every detail is a potential, welcome clue." --Kirkus,starred review "His most engrossing novel ever." --Jay McInerney,New York Observer Acclaim from the United Kingdom "Sprightly and acute." --Robert Winder,New Statesman "Powerfully moving, beautifully wrought and accomplished." --Glasgow Herald "From the first paragraphs we know ourselves to be in the hands of a major novelist and are borne forward by a compelling narrative, beautifully controlled, which combines the satisfactions of biography, social history and the excitement of a real-life detective story. This novel is Barnes at his best." --PD James,The Times "Arthur & Georgeacquires a hypnotic force. The character study, the feel for the period and the dialogue are all beautifully done. And the way in which the police close in on Edalji is genuinely chilling . . . the mark of a true novelist." --Andrew Martin,Daily Express "What Barnes has done is to imagine, describe and dramatise this true story with fantastic control and subtlety . . . probably Barnes's best yet." --David Sexton, Evening Standard "[A] beguiling and enormously readable novel." --Andrew Taylor,The Independent "One of the shrewdest English novelists, [Barnes] has an uncannily acute sense of what makes people, of all sorts, tick . . . What is remarkable, though, is the subtlety with which he goes about hijacking our fascination. In knowing what makes a great story, he has the instincts of a tabloid journalist, but in its delivery he displays the delicacy of a connoisseur who understands how to mete out his tale so quietly that when it bites, its mark is indelible . . . [Arthur and George] is a wholly absorbing portrait of late Victorian Britain and the attitudes it nurtured [and a] powerfully moving, beautifully wrought and accomplished novel." --Rosemary, Goring,The Herald "A beautiful and engrossing work which brings together some classic Barnesian themes (love, identity), introduces some new ones (spirituality, guilt and innocence), and hangs them all on a real-life miscarriage of justice from 100 years ago that was always going to be a gift for the first writer to spot its potential for re-imagining . . . We are in a late-19th century world of fob chains and propelling pencils, of order, duty, and propriety. But dark forces are at work, and the manner in which George becomes a victim of them is all the more shocking for the elegance and restraint of Barnes's narrative voice . ., Praise for The Lemon Table: "Leaves no one in doubt as to Barnes's virtuosity." -The Guardian "Barnes could not write badly if he tried." -Sunday Tribune (Dublin) Praise for Flaubert's Parrot: "Unputdownable...a mesmeric original." -Philip Larkin, Observer Books of the Year "A bewitching, original and challenging creation by a writer with spectacular talents." -Elizabeth Hardwick Praise for Staring at the Sun: "A dazzling mind in mercurial flight." -Philadelphia Inquirer "Undoubtedly much too good to win the Booker Prize." -Punch Praise for England, England: "Erudite, satiric, arch.... [Barnes is] a consummate writer, he provokes and entertains with dazzling speed." -The Vancouver Sun Praise for Love, Etc.: "The sheer wit of address is Barnes's huge attraction. You'd rather - or, at least, I'd rather - be in a Barnes novel, engaging in the tangled terribilia he wields with such power, than almost anywhere else in current British fiction." -The Independent, "Precise, elegant, enchanting." --Elle "Utterly absorbing, beautifully crafted . . .Arthur & George, rich and immensely readable, perfectly balances [its] radically different characters in a stream of flawless, driving sentences.

Synopsis
From one of England's most esteemed novelists, an utter astonishment that captures an era through one life celebrated internationally and another entirely forgotten. In the vast expanse of late-Victorian Britain, two boys come to life: George, the son of a Midlands vicar, and Arthur, in shabby genteel Edinburgh, both of them feeling at once near to and impossibly distant from the beating heart of Empire. One falls prey to a series of pranks en route to a legal vocation, while the other studies medicine before discovering a different calling entirely, and it is years before their destinies are entwined in a mesmerizing alliance. We follow each through outrageous accusation and unrivaled success, through faith and perseverance and dogged self-recrimination, whether in the dock awaiting complete disgrace or at the height of fame while desperately in love with a woman not his wife, and gradually realize that George is half-Indian and that Arthur becomes the creator of the world's most famous detective. Ranging from London clubs to teeming prisons, from a lost century to the modern age, this novel is a panoramic revelation of things we thought we knew or else had no clue of, as well as a gripping exploration of what goals drive us toward whatever lies in wait- an experience resounding with issues, no less relevant today, of crime and spirituality; of identity and nationality; of what we think, what we believe and what we can prove. Intriguing, relentless and, most of all, moving, "Arthur & George "richly extends the reach and achievement of a novelist described by the "Philadelphia Inquirer" as " a dazzling mind in mercurial flight.", From one of England's most esteemed novelists, an utter astonishment that captures an era through one life celebrated internationally and another entirely forgotten. In the vast expanse of late-Victorian Britain, two boys come to life: George, the son of a Midlands vicar, and Arthur, in shabby genteel Edinburgh, both of them feeling at once near to and impossibly distant from the beating heart of Empire.

Intriguing, relentless and, most of all, moving, Arthur and George richly extends the reach and achievement of a novelist described by the Philadelphia Inquirer as "a dazzling mind in mercurial flight.", A masterful novel about low crime and high spirituality, guilt and innocence, identity, nationality and race, this tale is a profound and witty meditation on the fateful differences between what is believed, what is known, and what can be proven. Two men's lives become interwoven and each becomes the other's salvation.
