Mike Engleby has a secret...

This is the story of Mike Engleby, a working-class boy who wins a place at an esteemed English university. But with the disappearance of Jennifer, the undergraduate Engleby admires from afar, the story turns into a mystery of gripping power. Sebastian Faulks's new novel is a bolt from the blue, unlike anything he has ever written before: contemporary, demotic, heart-wrenching - and funny, in the deepest shade of black.

text Simply sublime

A truly weighty novel, which engages empathetically with one man's experience of mental distress and the ramifications for his relationships and place in society. Wonderfully written, although very dark, this is Faulks at the peak of his powers.
