THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER

'Ambitious and beautifully crafted' THE TIMES
'Faulks writes with great emotional authority' SUNDAY TIMES

Amidst the letters of the alphabet, a life reveals itself. Flashing backwards and forwards through time, we meet Pietro Russell. As a photographer in Sri Lanka, a schoolboy in Fulham and even before he was born to his wounded English father and young Italian mother. The extraordinary moments of Pietro's life are navigated with unique imagination, giving the reader a chance to view a life from a new and moving vantage point.

A Fool's Alphabet is a novel of true invention from a master storyteller that sees life in all of its compelling, poignant glory.
