Críticas:

"The best novelist of his generation." -Allan Massie, "Scotsman" Praise for "Birdsong": "A lyrical masterpiece." -"The Edmonton Journal" "A brilliant, harrowing tale of love and war...engrossing, moving, and unforgettable.... So powerful, you long to call it perfect." -"The Times" (UK) Of "Charlotte Gray": "A beautifully-told tale... Faulks throws fascinating new light on the nature of French 'collaboration' with the Nazis, and throws the ideals of artistic creativity and the realities of the death camps into wrenching juxtaposition." -"The Vancouver Sun"

Reseña del editor:

Both a poignant love story and a period portrait of America, this is the story of a solitary woman in great turmoil. As the Eisenhower years end and 1960 ushers in John F. Kennedy. Mary van der Linden confronts the terror of the Cold War - a dark background to her carefree existence in Washington.
