The Newton Letter: 3 (Revolutions Trilogy, 3) - Softcover
Synopsis
‘A nearly perfectly fashioned work of art . . . The Newton Letter gave this reader such pleasurable excitement that he found it impossible to concentrate on anything until he had read it again to make sure that it seemed as good on the second reading. It did.’ Irish Times

His elaborate attempts to decipher the complex web of relationships are, however, far from accurate . . .

How is one to convey half-adequately that Banville’s The Newton Letter is something out of the ordinary? Source: Sunday Times
Banville’s prose has a dazzling amplitude and resource . . . a novelist of international calibre. Source: Boston Globe
Very precise and evocative . . . full of teasing alignments and variations. Source: Financial Times
