Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:From the author of the international bestseller Birdsong, comes a haunting historical novel of passion, loss, and courage set in France between the two world wars. This Vintage Original edition marks its first appearance in the United States.
On a rainy night in the 1930s, Anne Louvet appears at the run-down Hotel du Lion d'Or in the village of Janvilliers. She is seeking a job and a new life, one far removed from the awful injustices of her past. As Anne embarks on a torrential love affair with a married veteran of the Great War, The Girl at the Lion d'Or fashions an unbreakable spell of narrative and atmosphere that evokes French masters from Flaubert to Renoir. Review:"Beautifully written and — extraordinarily moving." The Sunday Times (London) Review:"I would urge those who appreciated The French Lieutenant's Woman to try this one....They may well think it superior." Sunday Telegraph (London) Review:"...Faulks's smoky cinematic treatment is perfectly suited to his moving tale of a woman and a country unprepared for the cruel consequences of military conflict." Publishers Weekly Synopsis:From the author of the international bestsellers Birdsong and Charlotte Gray comes a haunting historical novel of passion, loss, and courage set in France between the two world wars. About the AuthorSebastian Faulks is best known for his trilogy of novels set in France: The Girl at the Lion d'Or, Birdsong, and Charlotte Gray, the latter two of which were bestsellers.
