The Dust that Falls from Dreams by Louis de Bernières, book review: When the lights went out on Edwardian London
War and romance with an epic sweep is what people expect of Louis de Bernières. It is not, of course, all that he has written but it is what he is most famous for, particularly in Captain Corelli's Mandolin, now marking its 21st birthday, and in his last major novel, Bird Without Wings, of 2004.
