    Correllis Mandolin  a book to treasure
  

*by H***L on Reviewed in the United States on August 4, 2016*

This book was recommended to me when I was in the American Book Store in Paris.  At the time he said that its a book that you will not put down.  When I first tried to read it and put it down and go back to it. Then I was so involved in the story, in the characters that I could not put it down. He told me when he recommended it that it might take a few starts. He was on target. When you choose to spend a few hours in the world of Captain Correlli you will want to share this book with people that you really care about since it is soo special.  Its a book to reread.  Don't watch the movie,its alien to the book.  when I was on the last page, I thought what could match this now as a most incredible read. For a while nothing.  It stays with you. you care about the characters and I laughed I cried was sad and its in my bookcase as Captain Correlli's Mandolin and as Corelli's Mandolin.  the US and bought in Paris copies. Writing this review perhaps its time to open it again.

    A Masterpiece
  

*by R***M on Reviewed in the United States on January 19, 2021*

I may be wrong, but I don't think I've ever written a review in which I've called a book a "masterpiece," but there is a first time for everything, and this is the time.  There are so many ways to describe this book that I'm not even sure where to begin, but let's try a few.  It's wonderful historical fiction, writ small -- it takes place on a Greek island during WWII; it's not about vast armies or great issues of diplomacy, but about humble people and all they celebrate and are subjected to in a most horrible time.  The writing is brilliant, and the book has so many passages of great wit and great tenderness that I lost count.  The book is impressionistic -- in fact, it starts out so slowly that I wasn't sure I could get through it; there are seemingly random details and episodes that don't flow seamlessly into one another.  Then they do, and it's like the coming together of different themes in a great piece of music -- if you're into opera, think of the final trio in Der Rosenkavalier, which to this day, after dozens of hearings, still makes me shiver with its beauty.I think I've made my point, so rather than belabor the issue, I'll just say that this book restored my faith in the novel.I'll also say that, as noted above, this book requires some perseverance; it's not easy to get into, but it is well worth it when you do.

    One of a Kind
  

*by K***R on Reviewed in the United States on December 25, 2015*

This has to be the best book I have read this year. DeBernieres has woven a masterpiece out of words that flow into each other in what I can only call  poetic philosophy. It has all the elements that I want in a book: historical fiction, varied and intriguing points of view expounded by unforgettable characters, , comedy, tragedy,  deep love, loss, despair and redemption.I love a book that truly stretches my knowledge of history, touches chords of recognition over and over,  and sends me to the dictionary often. I have read a lot over 55 years and pride myself on having an extensive vocabulary which I actually use on a daily basis, but Dr Bernieres challenged me to to a fuel of verbal pyrotechnics which he invariably won.The story centers on the Greek island of Cephalonia from the thirties to the nineties, focusing on the constant stream of invaders and catastrophes suffered by the tenacious population. But it's not just the story that grabs you; it's the way the story is told. There are sections of stream of consciousness writing, almost prose poetry, that sucked me into a vortex of thought that I found impossible to pull out of until the author finished and let go of my mind. I know I sound a bit pompous and grandiose, but I feel a deep connection to this book. In some ways it reminded me of Umberto Eco's The Name of the Rose without the medieval whodunit aspect, but rather shares with that book a eloquence and profundity of thought. If you're looking for an easy read, this is not the book for you, but if you love to get lost in a book while following the flow of an interesting mind, you must experience this imaginative creation.
