"Harris’ superlative skill at depicting power politics makes this
an irresistibly gripping papal page-turner."
*Sunday Times, BOOKS OF THE YEAR*
"Thriller of the year . . . with a plot so serpentine and sinuous
that I could not bear to put it down."
*Daily Mail BOOKS OF THE YEAR*
"`I have been waiting for most of my life for Robert Harris to
write a novel that is not gripping, insightful and entertaining. I
am waiting still. His latest, Conclave, is superb."
*The Times BOOKS OF THE YEAR*
"A real page-turner, with a great twist in the final pages."
*The Times BOOKS OF THE YEAR*
"Finishing this splendid and intelligent story, as with all great
fiction, brings an acute sense of loss."
*The Times BOOKS OF THE YEAR*
"Robert Harris is incapable of writing a substandard novel."
*Observer, BOOKS OF THE YEAR*
"Each Robert Harris thriller is different but of exemplary
consistency."
*Mirror BOOKS OF THE YEAR*
"Robert Harris is the master storyteller of our time . . .
Beautifully constructed . . . it’s dramatically compelling,
politically intelligent, beautifully paced and with a lovely twist
in the tail . . . narrative doesn’t come better than this."
*Scotsman BOOKS OF THE YEAR*
"I am about to use a word I have never knowingly used in any review
of any book ever. During my 25-odd years of writing about books I
have done my best to avoid cliches, slipshod summaries, oracular
pronouncements and indeed anything else that might appear
emblazoned on a book jacket. Nonetheless, there is only one
possible word to describe Robert Harris’s new novel, and it is
this: unputdownable"
*Guardian*
"A master of producing thrillers of ever-tightening suspense, full
of insider analysis of political power and the treatment of
momentous events . . . gripping . . . more than a crime novel, it
is also a psychological and political thriller . . . Conclave is a
triumphant addition to Harris’ acclaimed output"
*Sunday Times*
