I found this book in a secondhand bookstore in London an bought it on account of the lovely cover. Often that strategy works for me, not in this case, though. I don't know if it is Sebastian Faulks' writing style or just the subject of this particular book, but I couldn't muster any kind of interest in the narrative and gave up on it after about 80 pages.
Maybe somebody else will have more luck with it?
