Sebastian Faulks: Where My Heart Used to Beat

The author Sebastian Faulks is a rare creature in the literary world: a novelist who's popular enough to sell millions of copies around the world while still attracting praise and respect from the critics. His novels Birdsong and Charlotte Grey spoke movingly and convincingly about the First and Second World Wars respectively and were both bestsellers that later became successful films. In his new novel, Where My Heart Used to Beat, madness and its treatment, love and how the past weighs on our present are all interwoven in a complex narrative tracing the life of its protagonist Robert Hendricks.
