Reviews

'The four volumes that make up this monumental book project on European Family Law represent the insight and experience of many fine family law scholars. The volumes examine themes, individual countries, and distinct pan-European institutions and developments. Jens Scherpe's tour de force is to pull all this together in the final remarkable volume. For a non-European like me, it is fascinating to read about harmonisation and diversity, privacy and rights, pluralism and protection. This is a truly wonderful achievement.'- Bill Atkin, Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand

It must form an essential part of any library covering modern family law. In providing this, the editor and the team of contributors have done a great service. The frameworks (the EU, the Council of Europe) are complicated and in some respects unique and generate their own problems, and attempts to solve them. Questions about their nature and future, including the place of European family law in the global community, lurk in the shadows.' --The International Journal of Law, Policy and the Family
