Novels
The Celibate
‘An exceptional book: at its core it combines the sexual with the spiritual.’
Sunday Times
Pagan and her Parents (Pagan’s Father in the US)
‘A moving novel about the survival of a modern family in the grip of death and the dead hand of convention.’
New Yorker
Easter
‘Arditti’s masterpiece and one of the first important English novels of the century.’
Literary Review
Unity
‘Strikingly original in form, its multiplicity of different voices rendered with a ventriloquist’s eerie skill, Unity is a remarkable, unsettling book.’
The Times
A Sea Change
‘Arditti succeeds in creating fiction that is morally serious, moving and intense.’
The Times Literary Supplement
The Enemy of the Good
‘A vivid picture of the religious life as it’s lived among all the conflicts and compromises of modern Britain. Our best chronicler of the rewards and pitfalls of present-day faith.’
Philip Pullman
Jubilate
‘Beautifully told…carries you through with humour, warmth and, above all the urgency of great romance.’
The Guardian
