A review by wanderaven
Arthur & George by Julian Barnes
4.0
Wow, what a fascinating story. I knew nothing of it going into the book and, though the writing is elegant, it's also a bit plodding sometimes, so I almost stopped early on.
Very glad I didn't, and Barnes is definitely growing on me as a preferred author. Even if one of the characters hadn't been a famous figure (Sir Arthur Conan Doyle), the stories, and their confluence, were engaging. Barnes' writing is quiet, eloquent, and witty, and I will definitely be reading him again.
