William Boyd, "Restless"

[stapsreads]

This is my last dark, moody, twisted spy thriller for a while, I think, and it's a good note to finish on. This is a very skilful novel, integrating two narratives, the mother's and the duaghter's, seamlessly, with a fantastic sense of time. I think on the whole the WW2 part was more successful than the seventies part, but the latter certainly added a lot. Recommended.
