Fires Which Burned Brightly by Sebastian Faulks This book will ill be Published on 2 Sep 2025. Thank you for providing me the digital ARC copy @netgalley @penguinrandomhouse @hutchheinemann Blurb- In Fires Which Burned Brightly, Faulks, a reluctant memoirist, offers readers a series of detailed snapshots from a life in progress. They include a post-war rural childhood – ‘cold mutton and wet washing on a rack over the range’ – the booze-sodden heyday of Fleet Street and a career as one of the country’s most acclaimed novelists. There are not one, but two daring escapes from boarding school; the delirium of a jetlagged American book tour; the writing of Birdsong in his brother’s house in 1992; and memorable trips across the channel to France. Politics, psychiatry and frustrated ventures into the world of entertainment are analysed with patience and rueful humour. The book is driven by a desire ‘to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time.’ It ends with a tribute to Faulks’s parents and a sense of how his own generation was shaped by the disruptive power of war and its aftermath. 📖 It's nostalgic, warm, vividly portrayed exploring life and the world around us. Reminiscing adolescence and coming of age like an opportunity to stroll down memory lane. I liked the crispy humourous tone which was different than his novel yet so firm, a delight to read. A great emotional terrain makes readers intrigued to the book. #Memoire #Downmemorylane #Theladylivesinbook #FiresWhichBurnedBrightly #NetGalley
