Every atom links us. Every feeling binds us. Every thought connects us. An exhilarating new novel from the bestselling author of A Week in December and Birdsong.
Sebastian Faulks was born in April 1953. Before becoming a full-time writer in 1991, he worked as a journalist. Sebastian Faulks’s books include A Possible Life, Human Traces, On Green Dolphin Street, Engleby, Birdsong, A Week in December and Where My Heart Used to Beat.
"Both intriguing and unsettling… [Faulks’s] versatility as a writer
is showcased in A Possible Life"
*Discover Your History*
"Most easily appreciated as a series of compelling short stories.
Poignant, powerful and tender, they are lined by the pain and
passion, hope and hardship, accident and design which make up the
drama of an individual life"
*Mail on Sunday*
"In form and scope, Sebastian Faulks's new novel is an unexpected
delight . . . There’s little sense of Faulks overreaching with
heavily researched detail . . . you trust the narrative whether it
is set in a workhouse or a death camp or a recording studio . . .
It’s rare to see an established writer broaden his range. A tightly
written, moving and exciting work of fiction that deserves success,
it should thrill established readers as well as win new fans. If
you think you know Faulks – or even (and especially) if you haven’t
enjoyed his previous novels – it’s time to look again."
*Telegraph*
"Like the albums that Jack and Anya agonise over, A Possible Life
is more than the sum of its parts . . . the stories acquire power
as resonances between them accrete. Only at the end do you realise
you’ve been won over by their quiet, glinting virtuosity"
*The Times*
"An investigation into the nature of shared human experience . . .
it does what any good novel should – it unsettles, it moves, and it
forces us to question who we are"
*Sunday Times*
