1914: Young Anton Heideck has arrived in Vienna, eager to make his name as a journalist.

She is convinced she can amount to nothing until a young lawyer, Rudolf Plischke, spirits her away to Vienna. But the capital proves unforgiving. Lena leaves her metropolitan dream behind to take a menial job at the snow-bound sanatorium, the Schloss Seeblick. 1933: Still struggling to come terms with the loss of so many friends on the Eastern Front, Anton, now an established writer, is commissioned by a magazine to visit the mysterious Schloss Seeblick.

'Faulks is beyond doubt a master' Financial Times Here is Paris as you have never seen it before - a city in which every building seems to hold the echo of an unacknowledged past, the shadows of Vichy and Algeria. American postdoctoral researcher Hannah and runaway Moroccan teenager Tariq have little in common, yet both are susceptible to the daylight ghosts of Paris. Hannah listens to the extraordinary witness of women who were present under the German Occupation; in her desire to understand their lives and through them her own, she finds a city bursting with clues and connections. Out in the migrant suburbs, Tariq is searching for a mother he barely knew. For him in his innocence each boulevard, Metro station and street corner is a source of surprise. In this urgent and deeply moving novel, Faulks deals with questions of empire, grievance and identity. With great originality and a dark humour, Paris Echo asks how much we really need to know if we are to live a valuable life.

Seit jeher hat er anderen auf die Sprünge geholfen, doch selten sich selbst. Alles ändert sich, als eine rätselhafte Einladung den Londoner Psychiater Robert Hendricks auf eine felsige Insel vor der französischen Mittelmeerküste führt – und damit zugleich in das bisher unerforschte Terrain seiner Erinnerung: an seine vaterlose Kindheit in England, an Verletzungen aus den Kriegsjahren, vor allem aber an seine einzige große Liebe, die Italienerin »L«. Sie wurden ein Paar, das der Krieg zusammenführte und auseinanderriss. Wird Hendricks nun, ein halbes Leben später, den Mut aufbringen, sie wiederzusehen? Meisterhaft verknüpft Sebastian Faulks die Geschichte eines Mannes, der sich erst durch die Erinnerung mit seinem Leben aussöhnen kann, mit einer beeindruckenden Bestandsaufnahme des 20. Jahrhunderts.
