Lili

"One of the many marvels of this extraordinary novel is its delicate, perfect poised choreography: Perhaps only for Kundera have the sensual and the philosophical danced together so beautifully. Deep intelligence graces these pages, yet never bores or overbears. The first and best reason to read Lili, however, is Lili herself. Abigail De Witt brings to life here a woman of sly and wondrous contradictions. Lili's hold on a reader will be no less ferocious than her grasp on life".
