Sebastian Faulks
Treat yourself to a sociable, interactive lunch hour, while an award-winning writer tells us the story behind the story. Rustle up a delicious lunch, pour yourself something sparkling and relax in great company.
Sebastian Faulks has enjoyed literary and commercial success with his all-consuming books and unforgettable characters. From historical novels set in France, including Birdsong, Charlotte Gray and The Girl at the Lion d’Or to the more contemporary A Week in December, he is an award-winning storyteller.
‘Faulks’s most poignant love story yet’ Antony Beevor
1914: Young Anton Heideck has arrived in Vienna, eager to make his name as a journalist. When he encounters Delphine, he is entranced by the light of first love and feels blessed. Until his country declares war on hers.
1927: For Lena, life with a drunken mother in a small town has been impoverished and cold. When her dreams of life in Vienna disappear, she takes a menial job at the snow-bound sanatorium, the Schloss Seeblick.
1933: Anton, now an established writer, is commissioned by a magazine to visit the mysterious Schloss Seeblick.
Sweeping across Europe as it recovers from one war and hides its face from the coming of another, SNOW COUNTRY is a landmark novel of exquisite yearnings, dreams of youth and the sanctity of hope. In elegant, shimmering prose, Sebastian Faulks has produced a work of timeless resonance.
At each lunch one compelling award-winning author talks about their book and inspirations, and then answers any questions from the Chair and guests. Previous virtual lunches have featured the award-winning Sophie Hannah, the fantastically indomitable Ruby Wax, the wise and warm Fern Britton and the prolific best seller Louise Candlish. We have welcomed guests from all over the UK as well as much further afield including Switzerland, Singapore and South Africa.
