Simon Mayo's Books Of The Year

Sebastian Faulks


Listen Later

Sebastian is invited in to chat about his latest novel Paris Echo - plus an excellent Q&A about his reading habits.


Best known for the French trilogy, The Girl at the Lion d'Or, Birdsong and Charlotte Gray (1989-1997) Faulks was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature in 1993 and appointed CBE for services to literature in 2002. In Paris Echo he deals with questions of empire, grievance and identity in a city in which every building seems to hold the echo of an unacknowledged past, the shadows of Vichy and Algeria.
