Daniel Martin

A rich, expansive novel from the author of *The French Lieutenant’s Woman*, this book follows Daniel Martin, a successful but disillusioned English screenwriter who returns to England and confronts the emotional and moral choices that have shaped his life. Moving between contemporary England, memories of Oxford, and travels abroad, the narrative explores love, friendship, betrayal, and the tension between artistic integrity and compromise. Characteristically thoughtful and self-aware, it reflects John Fowles’s fascination with freedom, responsibility, and the nature of storytelling itself. Philosophical yet deeply human, it will appeal to readers who enjoy searching, introspective fiction about identity, memory, and the possibility of renewal.
