   Jan 23, 1998 · "Oscar and Lucinda" begins with the look of a period literary adaptation, but this is not Dickens, Austen, Forster or James; Carey's novel is playful and manipulative, and so is the film. Oscar is shy and painfully sincere, Lucinda has evaded her century's strictures on women by finding a private passion, and they would both agree, I believe ...

   Is Oscar and Lucinda a good book?

   • Oscar and Lucinda (582 pp.) is sometimes too slow, and its energetic whimsicality can be grating. Against that, though, set writing that is far more often lucid and fine, beautifully drawn characters, and a remarkably clever narrative scheme. A brave and original novel.

   What is the relationship between Oscar and Lucinda about?

   Is Lucinda a good movie?

   • Lucinda builds a church made entirely of glass and transports it to Australia. On the ship she meets Oscar, setting off a dramatic chain of events. Good, but not great. Had massive potential - it was compelling viewing for the first 60% or so of the movie.

   May 1, 1988 · OSCAR AND LUCINDA. by Peter Carey ‧ RELEASE DATE: May 1, 1988. As he demonstrated in Bliss (1981) and Illywhacker (1985), Carey is partial to eccentrics. Here, he provides a splendid array of cranks and monomaniacs—with two of them, the title characters, living out an odd and tender love story.
