"A remarkable creation. . . . Truly moving. . . . richly human novel [and a] grand portrait of a city." --"The Washington Post "
"Ambitious, entertaining, and often scathingly angry." --"The New York Times Book Review "
""A Week in December "is a formally ambitious, intelligently entertaining, rather provocative novel of contemporary manners." --"Los Angeles Times "
"Reflects the tumultuous present with both humor and a scathing sensibility. . . . This, at its heart, is fiction about folks, and it's darned compelling." --"The Denver Post "
"Vigorous, authentic and often hilarious. . . . Clever and convincing." --"Chicago Tribune "
"The ultimate urban novel. . . . A blistering social document." --"Seattle Times "
" "
"Delightful and witty. . . . A state-of-the-nation book, a satirical comedy of metropolitan literary life, a sweeping, Dickensian look at contemporary London, a serious examination of Islam and the reasons for radicalism among young Muslims, a thriller, a satire . . . and a detailed look at the sharp financial practices that led to the collapse." --"The Guardian "(London)
"Precisely what we need to help us navigate these complex times. Chatrooms, blogs, reality TV: this is the landscape contemporary fiction must inhabit to stay relevant. Faulks' does so with mastery." --"GQ "
"[Faulks] handles his topics with witty verve." --"The New Yorker "
" "
"Guessing the real-life characters who might have inspired those in the novel adds an extra scoop of fun to this bewitching, well-observed snapshot of London life." --"Elle "
" "
"If you're a fan of Charles Dickens, "A Week in December" reads like a vastly entertaining new version of "Our Mutual Friend, " with a side order of "Bleak House." --"NPR, "What We're Reading"
"Eminently readable [and] cleverly plotted." --"The Times "(London)
"Faulks . . . writes in a style that is always sophisticated and sometimes satirical, but he never fails to draw in readers looking for a good story. . . . Deeply creative." --"BookPage "
"A riposte to those who say the novel doesn't deal with big issues any more." --"The Telegraph "(London)
"Well-plotted and gripping throughout." --"The Spectator "
