A Week in December takes place over the course of a single week. It brings together an intriguing cast of characters, each apparently in his or her own world but - as gradually becomes clear - intricately related. As the story builds to its climax, Faulks pulls together powerful ideas about family, money, religion and the way we live today.©2009 Sebastian Faulks (P)2010 W F Howes Ltd Contemporary Fiction Genre Fiction Kurgu Düşündürücü

An excellent picture of separate lives that tangentially meet. The details of the professional work are excellent as are the explorations of faith, beliefs and feelings. A mother treasure from Sebastian Faulks

Completely engaging

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Most of my friends read instead of Audio, but I would certainly recommend this one.

What was one of the most memorable moments of A Week in December?

I reckon the last few chapters when one did not know if the bombs were going to be used

What about Colin Mace’s performance did you like?

It held my interest right to the end

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

The diverse characters who were brought into the story in just one week

Any additional comments?

Yes it would be really good If I could download the two books I have purchased since!!

This is a complete change from the previous books

An excellent story that keeps you griped all the way through. Faulks is so observant! The narration is also good.

Very good

I've read most of Sebastian Faulk's books and am impressed by his versatility across a range of genres. He has written some splendid and moving books, but "A Week in December" is not one of them. Despite an excellent reader, who helps the listener differentiate among the large number of characters, I was confused for the first few chapters as to who was whom as so many were introduced at the start of the book. The book is largely a dystopic commentary on modern urban life in Britain. There are over-long polemics about the genesis of the banking crisis and much about the rise of Islamic extremism. Through the voice of a character who is a writer and critic Faulks airs some of his criticisms of other writers, albeit disguised for those of us not in the know.
The book is made up of several stories running in parallel that hardly impinge on one another and so the expectation is that by the end some connections will be formed. My main disappointment is how the book ends.

Not one of the author's best books

I cannot understand why Sebastian Faulks books get so low ratings here.
A Week in December is another brilliant listen,up there with Birdsong and Charlotte Gray.

Another great book from Sebastian Faulks
