A Week in December by Sebastian Faulks

I picked this up on the way through Terminal 5 on Monday, to at least kill some time on the 9 hours to Seattle. Little did I know that by the time I landed, I’d be 3/4 of the way through.

Telling the story of 7 main characters over the week before Christmas in 2007, Sebastian Faulks weaves a marvellous tale that exposes the massive differences between people that live close together in West London.

Faulks writes with unerring precision (inspirational), and develops characters into completely plausible and believable people that your can really engage with. The whole thing rattles along very nicely until the inevitable, but still surprising climax.

A great read – why not add it to your next Amazon order – click here.
