French Lieutenant's Woman
French Lieutenant's Woman | John Fowles
35 posts | 86 read | 57 to read
Perhaps the most beloved of John Fowles's internationally bestselling works, The French Lieutenant's Woman is a feat of seductive storytelling that effectively invents anew the Victorian novel. "Filled with enchanting mysteries and magically erotic possibilities" (New York Times), the novel inspired the hugely successful 1981 film starring Meryl Streep and Jeremy Irons and is today universally regarded as a modern classic.

The original 1969 cover. A truly terrible cover for a great book. Required a much slower read than I expected, but worth the time for the social commentary and the low-key roasts Fowles delivers. Some of the most humorous character descriptions I‘ve read in a long time.

Not at all romantic and kind of offputting

Started off badly, just based on the cover – very creepy – a woman‘s eyes and top half of her face are whited-out and there are branches growing from her head. Anyway, when the first bit appeared to be a lot of description, I almost immediately lost interest. I did find, with this one, with about ¼ of the book left, I got more interested, most of the time. Cont in comments...

LibraryCin There were odd parts where the actual narrator, who was set in the 1960s commented for a chapter or so. I did enjoy the couple of mentions of Mary Anning, finder of fossils in Lyme Regis during the time the novel is set. 5y

“The thin end of the sensible clothes wedge had been inserted in society by the disgraceful Mrs Bloomer a decade and a half before the year of which I write; but that early attempt at the trouser suit had been comprehensively defeated by the crinoline - a small fact of considerable significance in our understanding of the Victorians. They were offered sense; and chose a six-foot folly unparalleled in the most folly-ridden of minor arts.”

“He knew he was over-fastidious. But how could one write history with Macaulay so close behind. Fiction or poetry in the midst of the greatest galaxy of talent in the history of English literature?
...
You will see that Charles set his sights high. Intelligent idlers always have, in order to justify their idleness to their intelligence. He had, in short, all the Byronic ennui with neither of the Byronic outlets: genius and adultery.”

Leniverse I feel called out by this book. 😂 Why bother at all when you don‘t have the genius and ability of the best in the field? I‘ve been guilty of thinking like that since I was a small child. 5y

I‘m pretty much in love with this book.

Seriously fantastic, lush writing, unique narrative style, touching on all sorts of issues, and nearly impossible to put down. I‘m still not sure which choose-your-one adventure ending I‘m going to go with. So good.

I do not think this book is probably for everyone, and I get why, but it was certainly for me.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

When a fictional character from a novel (set in the 1860s and published in 1968) just completely gets me. 🙌🏻

ThatBookishGal Omg I love this book so much!! I remember reading it in college for British Literature. Led me on to a bit of a Fowles kick. I haven‘t met anyone else (outside of the class) who has read this book! 5y
sprainedbrain @ThatBookishGal I read The Collector a couple of months ago and loved it. This one was even better! I‘m slowly making my way through the 1001 Books list, or I may never have discovered Fowles—that would have been a shame! 5y

Bizarre reading rituals: I generally prefer dead tree books, but read on Kindle at night so I (a) don‘t have to wear my glasses and (b)can turn the lights off. I read with a very sharp ROUND pencil in hand (Mirado Black Warriors,) and I write allllllllll over my books. Sometimes I doodle in them. For illustrative purposes, naturally. #readerweirdness

Aimeesue Because of my day/night book format preferences, I sometimes end up with multiple copies of a book, paper and Kindle. Often, I‘ll borrow an ebook copy via Overdrive so I don‘t have to stop reading at night. 6y
Aimeesue I use clothing hang tags as bookmarks because they already have strings on them to dangle out the top of the book; Levi‘s hang tags are my favorites. They‘re the perfect size. 6y
Traci1 If I'm reading a physical book, I ALWAYS look on Overdrive to see if I can get the eBook too for bedtime reading. 6y

Aimeesue @Traci1 Oh, thank goodness! It‘s not just me! I actually bought the Kindle copy of the Fowles because I‘m leading a book discussion and wanted to make sure I didn‘t have to return it before I was done with it. I usually borrow rather than buy, tho. Overdrive is one of the greatest things ever! 6y
Traci1 Overdrive is my favorite thing. I do buy e-versions of some books I own. Both Game of Thrones and Outlander series because I reread those and they are freaking heavy. I'm thinking about getting the Harry Potters even though I have like 4 copies of each of them... 😒 6y
Aimeesue @Traci1 I have three copies of Hogfather. Bought the Kindle version last year so I would always have it with me 😁 6y
Traci1 @Aimeesue I haven't read that one, but it's the next Discworld book on my want to read list. 6y

jillrhudy @Aimeesue I think she does it so that no matter how many times you wash before you see her again, she can smell a good buddy! 6y

This wasn't written in the way I expected! I found it quite hard going at times but relished the social commentary which Fowles added. He writes it from a century later which added to my interest in his writing. Think I'll try The Collector soon.

TrishB The Collector is one of my fav book as a teenager. Not read it since though! 6y

The prose us extremely detailed and I'm having to re read parts but that's not always a bad thing!

The character of Sarah is wonderfully strong externally but so forlorn and devastated :(

My latest reads! (I'm in love with this bookworm sticker)

The Friends by Kazumi Yumoto was just okay... I was expecting a fun, refreshing read (it is middle grade I would say) but it just felt...bland. ⭐⭐⭐ because I didn't dislike it but I wouldn't recommend.

TFLW by John Fowles was an absolutely amazing journey! Being a lit student and analyzing it in class made it all the more interesting 🤓 It's a masterpiece, no doubt! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

BarbaraBB Yay for Fowles! I also loved The Collector and am looking forward to the Magus! 6y

A novel set in the 1860s, written 100 years later. I really liked that. Fowles often interrupts the novel by adding his thoughts on his characters, the plot etc. This may sound irritating, but I thought this meta-fiction quite good. And then the characters and their Victorian surroundings and lifestyle! Sara appears to be the protagonist (that's what Fowles calls her), while Charles is in fact the one we follow. Highly original! #1001books

I love me a good #postmodern novel and this one is a favorite. An example of #historiographicmetafiction....I'd try and dazzle you with my knowledge of what that means but I'd have to go dig out an essay that I wrote in college 😂 All I know is this book and its intriguing narrative structure have stuck with me for many years. #publishedinthe1960s #aprilbookshowers

This was an interesting book to read. It challeged the preconceived notion of the stereotypical character roles of the gentleman and the fallen woman. It also was an educated and sometimes comically astute metahistory as well. The multiple endings was an interesting touch, and as I waited for the story to unfold I believe they added to its overall impact. I am pleased to have found this book, and to have added it to my collection.

There's a lot going on in this novel. It's a Victorian romance, a metahistory, and a look at cultural gender roles with a bit of feminism on the side. There are multiple endings and a narrator who may or may not be Fowles. I had no idea what I was in for with this classic. The unexpected humor and irony are the elements that I loved most. A must-read!

scripturient I love this book and always recommend it to my students. :) 7y
