Reviews:

"Rich and funny."--Julian Barnes, The Guardian

"Delightful." -- The Economist

"Magnifique." --The Times

"A remarkably exhilirating read..." -- The Literary Review

"A brilliant recapturing of a fascinating era. Artistic and intellectual Paris -- 1940-50 -- comes vividly and memorably alive in these pages. A tremendous achievement". --William Boyd

"A tour de force, Left Bank weaves together so many people, ideas, trends, occurrences, and above all Parisian places, into a tapestry of fascinations – a distillation of the essence of an amazing time...the best of its kind I have ever read." --A.C. Grayling, author of The God Argument
