A Week in December by Sebastian Faulks
Sebastian Faulks A Week in December
A Week in December is a powerful and contemporary novel, which follows seven characters (a professional footballer, a lawyer and a student, among others) in London during the run-up to Christmas. Their lives run on parallel lines but become cleverly linked by the driver of their Circle Line tube train.
In true Sebastian Faulks style the narrative is written with a compelling tension that keeps you wanting more and, as each character slowly reveals very different perspectives on matters such as money, family, and love lives, they, like the reader, are forced to confront the true nature of the world they inhabit.
This is a very topical and thought-provoking novel from the award-winning master. Fans of his previous bestsellers won't be disappointed.
