Set in the 19th century, the novel follows the roller-coaster fortunes of a man as he tries to negotiate the random stages, adventures and vicissitudes of his life. He is variously a soldier, a farmer, a pawnbroker, a jailbird, a writer, a gigolo - and many other manifestations - and finally, a minor diplomat, based in Trieste (then in Austria-Hungary) where he sees out the end of his days.

Pressestimmen

The Romantic by William Boyd was the novel I enjoyed most this year. It's incredibly ambitious, its hero moving from Co Cork to London, then from Waterloo to Zanzibar, and at one point even joining the East Indian Army, but it was such an easy, indulgent read Sathnam Sanghera The Times, Best Books of the Year
