Sebastian Faulks

The best-selling novelist talks about his thought-provoking new book The Seventh Son

When a young woman named Talissa answers an advert to carry a child she cannot begin to imagine the consequences.

Behind the doors of the Parn Institute a billionaire entrepreneur plans to stretch the boundaries of ethics as never before.  Through a series of IVF treatments he sets in motion an experiment that is set to transform the human race as we know it.  The Seventh Son is a profound examination of what it is to be human.

Sebastian will be in conversation with Peter Kemp, Chief Fiction Critic on the Sunday Times.
