A novel in which all of his remarkable gifts come together to produce a real work of art, disquieting, beautiful, intelligent, and in the end, surprisingly, offering consolation

- Allan Massie, Scotsman

You can smell and feel and see his world with extraordinary clarity. It is a work of art, and I’ll bet it will still be read and admired in seventy-five years.

- Rick Gekoski, The Times

Poetry seems to come easily to Banville. There is so much to applaud in this book that it deserves more than one reading.

Literary Review

Se alle

A brilliant, sensuous, discombobulating novel.

Spectator

We can count ourselves privileged to be around at the same time as [Banville] is

Guardian

A masterly study of grief, memory and love recollected

- Professor John Sutherland, Chair of Judges, Man Booker Prize 2005,

‘You can smell and feel and see his world with extraordinary clarity. It is a work of art, and I’ll bet it will still be read and admired in seventy-five years’ – The TimesThe Sea is John Banville's remarkable, Booker prize-winning exploration of memory, childhood and loss.When art historian Max Morden returns to the seaside village where he once spent a childhood holiday, he is both escaping from a recent loss and confronting a distant trauma.The Grace family had appeared that long-ago summer as if from another world. Mr and Mrs Grace, with their worldly ease and candour, were unlike any adults he had met before. But it was his contemporaries, the Grace twins Myles and Chloe, who most fascinated Max. He grew to know them intricately, even intimately. What happened next would haunt him for the rest of his years, and shape everything that was to follow.Part of the Picador Collection, a series celebrating fifty years of Picador books and showcasing the best of modern literature.
