PARIS ECHO - SEBASTIAN FAULKS KARTONIERT (TB)

'Superb . . . weaves winningly between the present and the second world war  between Tangiers
and Paris.' Observer Here is Paris as you have never seen it before - a city in which every
building seems to hold the echo of an unacknowledged past  the shadows of Vichy and Algeria.
American postdoctoral researcher Hannah and runaway Moroccan teenager Tariq have little in
common  yet both are susceptible to the daylight ghosts of Paris. Hannah listens to the
extraordinary witness of women who were present under the German Occupation  in her desire to
understand their lives  and through them her own  she finds a city bursting with clues and
connections. Out in the migrant suburbs  Tariq is searching for a mother he barely knew. For
him in his innocence  each boulevard  Métro station and street corner is a source of surprise.
In this urgent and deeply moving novel  Faulks deals with questions of empire  grievance and
identity. With great originality and a dark humour  Paris Echo asks how much we really need to
know if we are to live a valuable life.
