What to expect
Brought to you by Penguin.
A remarkable performance... As gripping as The Collector and The Magus' Observer
Charles Smithson, a respectable engaged man, meets Sarah Woodruff as she stands on the Cobb at Lyme Regis, staring out to sea. Charles falls in love, but Sarah is a disgraced woman, and their romance will defy all the stifling conventions of the Victorian age.
Widely acclaimed since publication, The French Lieutenant's Woman is the best-loved of John Fowles's novels.

Critics Review
A brilliant success… It is a passionate piece of writing as well as an immaculate example of storytelling
Compulsively readable
A splendid, lucid, profoundly satisfying work of art, a book which I want almost immediately to read again
Brilliant…an artist of great imaginative power
Marvellous 1969 novel… You can read this book again and again, always finding something new and always falling in love with the hapless Charles.
The French Lieutenant’s Woman is immensely interesting, attractive and human
It has a cracking story, a real emotional heart and a good sense of humour
