John Fowles recommends
A Dream of Wessex (1977)
Christopher Priest
"I can best convey its quality by saying that I think not only H. G. Wells but Hardy himself would have enjoyed and approved of it."
Young Adolf (1978)
Beryl Bainbridge
"A delightfully original conception, executed with great skill and humour."
Foreign Affairs (1984)
Alison Lurie
"There is no American writer I have read with more constant pleasure and sympathy. . . . Foreign Affairs earns the same shelf as Henry James and Edith Wharton."
The Chymical Wedding (1989)
Lindsay Clarke
"Lindsay Clarke's novel excited me more than any other English fiction for some time."
Jigsaw (1989)
Sybille Bedford
"A deliciously evoked return to worlds, and a Europe, now almost vanished; it will ravish connoisseurs of the lost."
