NATIONAL BESTSELLER
A Globe and Mail Best Book
“Carey has a wicked talent for historical voice, particularly the richly humorous circumlocutions of 19th-century diction.”
— Annabel Lyon, The Globe and Mail (Best Book)
“Carey’s brilliant evocation of the life of Alexis de Tocqueville explores themes of democracy, art, taste and class––all in the rich language of one of the world’s finest writers.”
— Financial Times
“Carey braids his story carefully, lovingly. It has all his telltale favorite elements—lawlessness, revolution, hope for the future, men driven by passion. At its heart, Parrot and Olivier in America is a western; the simplest story in history, sculpted down to a twinkle in a philosopher’s eye: Man’s search for freedom.”
— Los Angeles Times
“Carey’s traditional strengths are here in abundance: rich and meticulously researched detail, a soaring imagination, wonderfully inventive imagery and, most welcome of all, a caustic wit.”
— Daily Telegraph
“Carey’s novel cranks its energy, like Don Quixote, out of the friction between two vastly different characters.”
— New York Magazine (Best Book)
