The most ambitious and daring novel novel yet from Booker Prize-shortlisted Philip Hensher. A novel that's almost fizzy to the touch A performance of extraordinary flair and majesty from a writer who seems capable of anything Guardian The Emperor Waltz is a single novel with three narrative strands: fourth-century Rome, 1920s Germany, and 1980s London. In each place, a small coterie is closely connected and separated from the larger world. In each story, the larger world regards the small coterie and its passionately-held beliefs and secrets with suspicion and hostility. It is the story of eccentricity, its struggle, its triumph, its influence but also its defeat.

A novel that is always a joy to read Read it and allow yourself to become a better person Independent Important Glorious He might have the iconoclastic temperament of a Kandinsky, but he is an old master when he glimpses the cat asleep under the table or the curve of a womans neck The Times A glittering performance The Emperor Waltz has the depth and pleasurable density of a 19th-century fiction; I loved it Ian Thomson, Evening Standard Splendidly thought out and extraordinarily readable A S Byatt, Guardian 'A generous, courageous firework of a novel a Roman candle, alive and fizzing in the hand' New Statesman A book as joyful as its musical source The Emperor Waltz is a beautiful book, both profound and funny. It is a powerful invocation to live a life of joy, surrounded by true friends Telegraph
