The Sea: A Novel by John Banville
The Sea: A Novel

Susan Hegg, March 14, 2011

Banville has been called the heir to Proust. I am not sure of this. Both write evocatively and with an emotional realism rarely found. The Sea is such a beautiful example of the written word, I know I will want to reread it every now and then to experience the turns of phrase, the poignantly descriptive alliteration. It's like eating a very rich, satisfying meal.
