A masterpiece…a terrific novel, humming with ideas, knowing asides,
shafts of sunlight, shouts of laughter and moments of almost
unbearable tragedy
*Sunday Telegraph*
Compelling...profoundly moving
*The Independent on Sunday*
A pleasure from start to finish…WHERE MY HEART USED TO BEAT is that
rare book, a page-turning read that also has a significant
intellectual and emotional charge.
*Sunday Express*
There is everything here: love, loss, death, war, history, memory,
ideas, travel, friendship, rivalry, chance – and sex. It comes in
an immaculately crafted package that continues an ingenious
dual-timeline with plot twists that serve the reader with the exact
impression of what it might be to live the life of the novel’s
gimlet-eyed and engaging narrator, Dr Robert Hendricks
*Sunday Telegraph*
Combining as it does the cultural narrative of a complex century
forsaken by God and certainty, a serious investigation into the
vulnerability of the human mind and an old-fashioned – in the best
sense – story of love and war, this is an ambitious, demanding and
profoundly melancholy book
*Guardian*
a powerful and moving novel
*Daily Express*
This is not a wartime tragic romance, or a simple story of trauma.
It is much more affecting than that.
*Herald*
An intelligent and moving examination of the traumas of war. Faulks
is as accomplished as ever
*Scotsman, Books of the Year*
It’s a melancholy tale of war, love and loss that will leave you
gulping back sobs
*Observer, Books 2015 in Review*
Faulks gets better and better with every book. This is surely one
of the year’s best novels.
*Daily Mail*
