Highly entertaining
Guardian Books of the Year
Gloriously readable and, at times, wickedly funny

Riveting... Delicious... Gripping

A brilliant portrayal of 1970s Britain at its absolute worst⌠But it's also a gripping spy novel with some characteristic McEwan twists toward the end

McEwanâs mastery dazzles us in this superbly deft and witty story of betrayal and intrigue, love, and the invented self
