Praise for The Foundling Boy:

‘Remarkable … deserves a place alongside Flaubert’s Sentimental Education and Le Grand Meaulnes’ New Statesman

‘A big-hearted coming-of-age shaggy-dog story … [Déon’s] novel leaves you feeling better about life ’ The Spectator

‘It is shamefully parochial of us that this eminent writer has been so ignored by the anglophone world’ Sunday Times

‘Quiet, wryly funny prose … a delight’ Independent on Sunday

‘Michel Déon is a storyteller par excellence, and if The Foundling Boy is your first encounter with him, you couldn’t have a better introduction’ Irish Times

‘As witty as its English forebear [Tom Jones] but with French savoir-faire, The Foundling Boy may win new readers for books translated from French’ New York Times

‘I loved this book for the way, in its particularities and its casual narration, it admitted me to a world I knew nothing about and the many ways it made me care. It is not just a glimpse into the past, but the study of the heart of a man and his times’ Paul Theroux

‘The Foundling Boy is a legitimate, if not yet fully grown, heir to the great line of storytellers running from Fielding to Giono’ Le Figaro

‘This is a book to devour, savouring every last mouthful’ Pierre Moustiers
