Possibly book of the year

This is Sebastian Faulks' latest offering and it is one of those books you never want to end. I lived Birdsong and Green Dolphin Street, but thought he had lost some of his brilliance (esp with Engleby) but this is fabulous. As I finished reading it I was crying without realising it, so well crafted was the book. It is also a book that continues to make you think many days later.
