Revue de presse :
"A masterpiece...a terrific novel, humming with ideas, knowing asides, shafts of sunlight, shouts of laughter and moments of almost unbearable tragedy" (Toby Clements Sunday Telegraph)
"Compelling...profoundly moving" (Leyla Sanai The Independent on Sunday)
"A pleasure from start to finish...WHERE MY HEART USED TO BEAT is that rare book, a page-turning read that also has a significant intellectual and emotional charge." (Alexander Larman Sunday Express)
"There is everything here: love, loss, death, war, history, memory, ideas, travel, friendship, rivalry, chance – and sex. It comes in an immaculately crafted package that continues an ingenious dual-timeline with plot twists that serve the reader with the exact impression of what it might be to live the life of the novel’s gimlet-eyed and engaging narrator, Dr Robert Hendricks" (Sunday Telegraph)
"Combining as it does the cultural narrative of a complex century forsaken by God and certainty, a serious investigation into the vulnerability of the human mind and an old-fashioned – in the best sense – story of love and war, this is an ambitious, demanding and profoundly melancholy book" (Guardian)
"a powerful and moving novel" (Daily Express)
"This is not a wartime tragic romance, or a simple story of trauma. It is much more affecting than that." (Rosemary Goring Herald)
"An intelligent and moving examination of the traumas of war. Faulks is as accomplished as ever" (Scotsman, Books of the Year)
"It’s a melancholy tale of war, love and loss that will leave you gulping back sobs" (Observer, Books 2015 in Review)
"Faulks gets better and better with every book. This is surely one of the year’s best novels." (John Harding Daily Mail)

‘This is a terrific novel, humming with ideas, knowing asides, shafts of sunlight, shouts of laughter and moments of almost unbearable tragedy’ Sunday Telegraph
On a small island off the south coast of France, Robert Hendricks, an English doctor who has seen the best and worst the twentieth century has to offer, is forced to confront the events that made up his life.
‘an ambitious exploration of memory and happiness…Hendricks is a strangely compelling and likeable character’ The Times
His story takes us through the war in Italy in 1944, a passionate love affair that seems to hold out hope, the great days of idealistic work in the 1960s and finally back into the trenches of the Western Front.
‘that rare book, a page-turning read that also has a significant intellectual and emotional charge’ Sunday Express
But his host and antagonist, Alexander Periera, is determined that Robert will learn what separates his memories from the truth.
‘Faulks returns to his favourite theme: the loss inherent in the gap between the life we have lived – and the one we might have had. It’s that difference that tugs at the heartstrings. Faulks just gets better and better with every book.’ Daily Mail
Sebastian Faulks is the author of ten novels, including Birdsong, Human Traces, Engleby, On Green Dolphin Street and A Week in December.
