Sebastian Faulks has written nineteen books, of which A Week in December and The Fatal Englishman were number one in the Sunday Times bestseller lists. He is best known for Birdsong, part of his French trilogy, and Human Traces, the first in an ongoing Austrian trilogy. Before becoming a full-time writer, he worked as a journalist on national papers. He has also written screenplays and has appeared in small roles on stage. He lives in London.
A fine and profoundly intelligent novel, written by an author who
balances big ideas with human emotion. Wistful, yearning and
wise.

*The Times*
Sebastian Faulks' latest novel is beautifully written, shot through
with a sense of the frailty of love that is at times reminiscent of
William Faulkner's The Wild Palms... This is a superb novel
