A Week in December by Sebastian Faulks

A Week in December by Sebastian Faulks

'A thoughtful page-turner' THE TIMES
'Vast, well-plotted and gripping throughout' SPECTATOR
'Richly entertaining and highly rewarding' EVENING STANDARD

Seven Londoners are invited to an opulent dinner party. From a brutal hedge-funder to a lovelorn barrister, a Polish footballer to a pickle magnate, they are defined by the virtual worlds of religious extremism, financial gambling, drugs and internet obsession they inhabit. But it is 2007, the Crash is coming, and all will face a terrible reckoning.

A Week in December is a dazzling and darkly comic state-of-the-nation novel.

"This vast novel, well-plotted and gripping throughout, is the first that Sebastian Faulks has set in our time.. the ambition and scope of the book are to be applauded. The conclusion is suitably nail-biting and, pleasingly, love triumphs. Sebastian Faulks has probably got another best-seller on his hands."
--Spectator

"A portrayal of modern London that is both richly entertaining and highly rewarding. Faulks has come as close as anyone to completing the jigsaw that is this crazy, fascinating city of ours."
--Evening Standard
