Reviews

  • 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.

    Geoffrey Wansell, 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.

    Ben Macintyre, The Times BOOKS OF THE YEAR

  • A real page-turner, with a great twist in the final pages.

    Libby Purves, The Times BOOKS OF THE YEAR

  • Finishing this splendid and intelligent story, as with all great fiction, brings an acute sense of loss.

    Richard Susskind, The Times BOOKS OF THE YEAR
