Posing profound questions about how we retain our humanity after undergoing great suffering, the acclaimed author of Birdsong Sebastian Faulks follows a soldier whose experiences in post-war Palestine scar his burgeoning relationship with an enigmatic music mistress. A sweeping and profound novel about faith in all its forms, and a rich portrait of an embattled post-war Britain.
‘Beautifully written and a deceptively deep novel of moral choice set in the aftermath of the Second World War. The characters are as utterly convincing as the story’. Antony Beevor
