Review:
'Shirley Hazzard. For me the greatest living writer on goodness and love . . . THE TRANSIT OF VENUS, was described to me by a man who knows as "the greatest novel written in the past 100 years". Having read it, I can see his point. Shirley Hazzard, the quiet, playful, lovestruck artist of love, goodness and death in the 20th century. (Bryan Appleyard)
A wonderfully mysterious book ... Both plot and characters are many layered. Unforgettably rich (ANNE TYLER)
A dose of the sublime .. I read it with an almost indescribable pleasure. There were sentences that brought tears of gratification to my eyes (NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW)
An almost perfect novel ... Miss Hazard writes as well as Stendhal (NEW YORK TIMES)
