From the author of Birdsong, comes a deeply moving story of love and conscience, will and desire.

Praise for Girl At The Lion d'Or

[A] story of restrained emotions played out in a period setting among picturesque locations . . . Faulks gives every sign of being a real novelist, who thinks and feels through the written word
