Sheila, owner of Dulwich Books, has read an advance copy of Where My Heart Used To Beat and absolutely loved it, she was blown away by it and is really looking forward to hearing Sebastian talk about it and his writing.

On a small island off the south coast of France,Robert Hendricks, an English doctor who has seen the best and the worst the twentieth century had to offer, is forced to confront the events that made up his life. His host, and antaWhere My Heartgonist, is Alexander Pereira,a man whose time is running out, but who seems to know more about his guest than Hendricks himself does.

The search for sanity takes us through the war in Italy in 1944, a passionate love that seems to hold out hope, the great days of idealistic work in the 1960s and finally ? unforgettably ? back into the trenches of the Western Front.

The recurring themes of Sebastian Faulks?s fiction are here brought together with a new stylistic brilliance as the novel casts a long, baleful light over the century we have left behind but may never fully understand. Daring, ambitious and in the end profoundly moving, this is Faulks?s most remarkable book yet.

    • I am quoting what a Tory SPAD said about Jenrick.  I've not analysed Jenrick's exact words but it sounds like he is going down the GB News route which if true is rather sad.  This was picked up by the media so you can follow this up - an article below, the Mail and Telegraph may have alternative takes. https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025/jan/05/badenoch-defends-jenricks-remarks-about-people-from-alien-cultures I could stereotype and generalise about many cultures, races, nationalities and religions but I try not to.  I'd rather hear in more detail from a Pakistani community leader and the like rather than a white privileged politician.   https://mcb.org.uk/the-muslim-council-of-britain-calls-for-jenrick-to-be-sacked/
    • I think it should be free and they should pay £1 for every one on target. Proceeds to go towards a Xmas bonus for the street cleaners.
    • Thank you Hayley , kind words .. see you in around 6wks or so , I look forward to the task of renovating your bathroom and utility area . I think these are the only two rooms I haven’t worked on yet . Thanks !
    • Sorry Malumbu, but to say that Pakistani men are being 'demonised' is disgraceful. The men in the rape gangs were predominantly from Pakistan - that is a fact.  To suggest pointing this out is victimisation totally undermines the horror that the predominantly white young girls suffered at their hands. The men exploited this, using their nationality as a shield, and told their victims they wouldn't be believed. And they were right - some of he brave people who did call it out lost their jobs.  To deny there is a strong cultural element to this, so as to protect your fear of being seen as anything other than liberal and progressive, is disingenuous at the very least. And to suggest that calling it out is far right is insane, I'm sure plenty women and girls of Pakistani heritage would agree.  That Jenrick and Badenoch have picked this up and used it as a political football is a really disappointing start to the year, though at least today's debate in PMQs was respectful in its tone. But for the victims to have this glibly brought up and used to bait the other side just goes to show how little some of the protagonists really care about them.
