The events of Pietro Russell's life are told in 26 chapters. From A-Z, each chapter is set in a different place and reveals a fragment of his story. As his memories flicker back and forth through time in his search for a resolution to the conflicts of his life, his story gradually unfolds.

“A Fool’s Alphabet is a poignant and highly readable novel that runs the gamut of experience from well, from A to Z.”
–Herald
“Sebastian Faulks’s third and most magnificent novel is a feel-good experience from cover to cover. At a time when writers seem obliged to present the seedy or the wicked as reflections of the dirty, real world, we have here something that goes deeper than greed and explores our emotional rather than material being.”
–Daily Mail
Sebastian Faulks worked as a journalist for 14 years before taking up writing books full time in 1991. He is the author of A Trick of Light; The Girl at the Lion D’Or; The Fatal Englishman; Birdsong; Charlotte Gray; On Green Dolphin Street; and most recently, Human Traces.
