The Visit of the Royal Physician is his first novel since Captain Nemo's Library in the early 90s.One of the most dramatic and memorable historical novels to have hit these shores in years...Fierce, direct, imbued with wintry, windswept poetry, Enquist's style makes 18th-century court intrigue as rough and raucous as a mafia feud
Independent
One of those rare, magical books that creates its own world so modestly that it is only halfway through that you realise you have been entranced
Daily Telegraph
An impressive historical novel...brilliantly mixing motifs of madness, role-playing and control
The Times
An elegant and gorgeous novel
Los Angeles Times
was hard to put down. Love, idealism, corruption and insanity in the Danish court of the Enlightenment: the world he draws is so complete, it s a very absorbing read.
