Bestselling novelist Sebastian Faulks' first work of nonfiction is a biography of three remarkable men who possessed the seeds of greatness, but whose lives were cut short.Christopher Wood, twenty-nine when he killed himself, was known throughout the beau monde of 1920s Paris for his good looks, charm, and ambition to achieve greatness as a painter. Richard Hillary, a WWII fighter pilot, died in a mysterious training accident at the age of twenty-three. And Jeremy Wolfenden, hailed as the brightest Englishman of his generation, was a spy, an alcoholic, and an open homosexual in Cold War Moscow; he died at the age of thirty-one, a victim of his own recklessness. Through the lives of these doomed young men, Faulks paints an oblique portrait of English society as it changed from the Victorian era to the modern world.
