A masterpiece...a terrific novel, humming with ideas, knowing
asides, shafts of sunlight, shouts of laughter and moments of
almost unbearable tragedy -- Toby Clements * Sunday Telegraph *
Compelling...profoundly moving -- Leyla Sanai * 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. -- Alexander Larman * 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. -- Rosemary Goring * 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. -- John Harding * Daily Mail *
