Product Details
- From the award-winning, internationally best-selling author, a beguiling romp of a novel, at once intimate and panoramic, about the adventures and misadventures of a nineteenth-century everymanPicaresque, big-hearted and moving, this is Boyd at the top of his game. —The GuardianOne man, many lives . . . Cashel Greville Ross experiences more of everything than most, from the rapturous to the devastating, from surprising good luck to unexpected loss. Born in 1799, Cashel seeks his fortune across the turbulence of multiple continents, from County Cork to rural Massachusetts, from Waterloo to Zanzibar, embedded with the East Indian Army in Sri Lanka, sunning himself alongside the Romantic poets in Pisa. He travels the world as a soldier, a farmer, a felon, a writer, even a father. And he experiences all the vicissitudes of existence, including a once-in-a-lifetime love that will haunt the rest of his days. In the end, his great accomplishment is to discover who he truly is—which is the romance of life itself, and the beating heart of The Romantic.

Action & Adventure Editorial Review
**** William Boyd's "The Romantic" has garnered a mixed yet generally positive reception from its readers. Many praise Boyd for his eloquent writing style and skill in weaving a captivating tale set against the tumultuous backdrop of the 19th century. The story follows the life of Cashel Ross, an Englishman whose journey is framed by significant historical events and interactions with prominent figures of the era, such as Byron and Shelley. Reviewers appreciate the charming and vulnerable nature of the protagonist, which draws readers into his life experiences and emotional struggles. However, while Boyd's narrative prowess shines through in his characteristic storytelling, some readers felt a disconnect with the character of Cashel Ross, describing him as somewhat flat and predictable. Critics noted that despite his colorful adventures, the depth of his character did not fully resonate, leaving a lingering sense of unreality about his romantic nature. Although certain sections of the novel may feel overwritten, others find the overall character development engaging and rewarding as it encapsulates the protagonist's evolution amidst a rapidly changing world. Ultimately, "The Romantic" is recognized as a delightful, historically rich novel that invites reflections on love, loss, and the relentless passage of time, though some readers might feel it could have delved deeper into its central character's psyche. **
