The Girl at the Lion d'Or - a deeply satisfying read on.

Advantages: Faulks creates then implants both character and place deep within you.
Disadvantages: Not his best novel but better by far than most of this genre.

...relief from screaming headlines trumpeting the latest tabloid marital martyr, the self-righteously indignant judgment of 'him whose no better than he should be.'
As you sit on your sofa, your train or plane and briefly close your eyes to let the words steep through like autumn tea in the big brown pot, you can almost see the rain sodden streets and smell the oppressive fustiness of provincial hospitality.
This is a thought provoking and ... more

Inter-war France

Advantages:
Disadvantages: not as good as the other two

This is the middle of Sebastian Faulks three interlinked books about France and the turmoil of the First World War. For me, it was the least interesting although it is more of a traditional story than Birdsong. This is the story of a young girl working at a hotel between the wars in France. The pain of a country almost destroyed is portrayed in the individual characters and where it could be overplayed, it isn't. It also has that slightly painfull air of a book about French people, written by an Englishman. ...

Review of The Girl From the Lion D'Or - Sebastian Faulks

Buy this book!

Advantages: Faulks'genius
Disadvantages: Without the setting of war, is not as provoking as Birdsong or Charlotte Gray

The Girl at the Lion d'Or is a short, but explosive, moving tale of love, conscience and tragedy, which, although not as harrowing and thought-provoking as Birdsong or Charlotte Gray, is another excellent novel by bestselling author Sebastian Faulks. It tells the story of a young woman, with a secret past, who arrives to work at the dingy Hotel du Lion d'Or in a small town in inter-war France. She soon embarks on a passionate love affair with a local married man, and the events of her childhood that planted the seeds of her character slowly reveal themselves. Faulks uses vivid imagery to create the atmosphere of the setting, and as usual his characters are deep and undergo a process of self-discovery as the novel unfolds. An excellent read - highly recommended! ...

Review of The Girl From the Lion D'Or - Sebastian Faulks

An oxymoron of a novel - beautifully devestating

Advantages: Realism
Disadvantages: Long in parts

Like a few of Sebastian Faulks' novels this is set in France in the second world war. After reading 'the girl at the lion d'or' and 'Birdsong' I didn't think I could find another gripping page turner by this author. Beautifully written and characters brought dramatically to life it is a story of love, passion and war which shouldn't put men off reading this. The way this story is written really helps the reader to feel close to the characters and part of the plot causing them to empathise. Sebastian has here created a tale that gives a cocktail of a ficional storyline infused with a great knowledge of a devestating war - apporached in a brave and different way. Superb - deffinately would read again and deffinately one of my top 10 books. He never fails to impress ...
