This is an incredibly incredibly ambitious and thoughtful, much more subtle and wide-ranging than the previous works by Faulks that I've read. It deals with some of the same issues that he's dealt with in his previous works—the spectre of the First World War hangs over this as it does in Birdsong—but this is a much more expansive book, one which looks at sanity and insanity, what it is to be human, what it is to think. This can, admittedly, make the book a little heavy-going at times, especially since Faulks manages a very admirable pastiche of the kind of writing to which medical researchers were prone in the nineteenth century, but I found it fascinating and thought-provoking, sufficiently so that I devoured it in the departure lounge/on the plane—which is definitely a sign of approval given that it's over six hundred pages long, and the flight was very much a short haul one. The prose is beautifully lucid, evocative without ever being anything like purple, and Faulks somehow manages the feat of shifting the tone of the novel almost imperceptibly as it progresses, so that the opening feels very appropriate to its setting (the early 1870s) while its conclusion is very much of the twentieth century. If the novel has a flaw, it is that its characters always take second place to its ideas; Thomas and Jacques, Sonia and Kitty, though finely drawn, are never characters which seize the imagination.
