THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER
'Superb' OBSERVER
'Cunningly crafted' FINANCIAL TIMES
'Faulks is doing what he does best' SUNDAY TIMES
In the depths of the archive, Hannah dances with the ghosts of Vichy France, lost in testimony and a desire to hear the voices of the past. Back in her apartment, Moroccan teenager Tariq crashes on her sofa, consumed by his search for the mother he barely knew. Their excavations will unearth rich histories that will teach them both just how much the future is worth fighting for.
Paris Echo is a propulsive and haunting novel of empire and identity, told with biting wit and tenderness, which exposes the shadows of the city of lights.
'Paris Echo is brimming with Faulks's deep affection for Paris . . . and ambition to evoke that place, its ghostliness, those spectres of history, lurking around every beautiful avenue'
