Faulks is beyond doubt a master
Financial Times
He is the best novelist of his generation
Scotsman
[S]tructurally intricate, yet intensely focused on the lives of individuals...Human Traces is replete with interesting ideas and contains some exceptionally fine topographic writing
Jane Stevenson, Observer
Faulks has woven dozens of compelling voices together to produce an extraordinary novel of magnificent scope
Jonathan Ree, Evening Standard
This is a bold and remarkable work of imagination, particularly in its daring remastery of the 19th-century novel form and the sustained grace of its prose. To write so well for so many hundreds of pages is an amazing feat of intellectual athleticism
Jane Shilling, Sunday Telegraph
An extraordinary novel of magnificent scope
Evening Standard
His most ambitious novel yet... Love, loyalty, courage, compassion, goodness...these are the poles around which his always skilful storytelling revolves
Independent
Shocking and enlightening...touching and affecting
Daily Mail
An epic of a novel...in some ways better than Birdsong, or at least more subtle and far ranging
Country Life
One of the most impressive novelists of his generation
Sunday Telegraph
