Media Reviews
British reviewers' praise for Charlotte Gray:
It would take a mile-long essay to do justice to the many virtues of Sebastian Faulks's wonderful new novel. This riveting account of a young Scotswoman's odyssey through wartime London, and on into a perilous secret mission in Vichy France, deserves the highest praise. . . . Proustian cogitations, masterful narrative, and zestful pen portraits. A beautiful, near-masterpiece. --The Independent on Sunday
One of the most impressive novelists of his generation . . . who is growing in authority with every book.
--Sunday Telegraph
A worthy successor to Birdsong. It is hard to imagine anyone who enjoyed the last novel not finding great interest and pleasure in this one. In Charlotte, Faulks has created a wonderfully complex and engaging heroine, with whom it is hard not to fall a little in love. --Daily Express
Faulks has the rare gift of being popular and literary at the same time. Its page-turning quality in no way undermines the darkness that it describes. --Literary Review
Faulks is beyond doubt a master. --Financial Times

Praise for Birdsong:
Overpowering and beautiful . . . A great novel. --Simon Schama, The New Yorker
The ordinary superlatives do not suffice in this case. Birdsong moved me more profoundly than anything I've read in years. A deeply compassionate, utterly thrilling work by a master of the form. --Frank Conroy
Worthy in every way of its honors and success . . . so powerful as to be almost unbearable. --George Garrett, Los Angeles Times Book Review
A contemporary novel that . . . earns a place on the shelf with true literature. . . . Superb storytelling andcraftsmanship. --People
