Synopsis

Logan Mountstuart's long life is both ordinary and extraordinary. A writer, a spy and later an art dealer, Logan mixes with the men and women who shaped the twentieth century. But he's also a son, a husband and a lover, and he makes the same mistakes we all do in his search for happiness. William Boyd's bestselling novel, a rich, intriguing and entertaining account of a life lived to the full, comes to the tv screen in a major new series scripted by the author himself.

Media Reviews
Its pleasures are endless. . . . Supremely entertaining. - The Washington Post Book World
Boyd has an exceptional ability to tell a really compelling story, in dense imaginative detail, about characters with complex, and convincing, emotional lives. . . . I've already read this book twice and probably shall again. Of how many novels can that be said? --Peter Green, Los Angeles Times Book Review
The sort of rare novel that redeems the essential purpose of prose fiction. . . . A high celebration of the plain fun of a life lived with relentless appetite and reasonable grace. -- The Baltimore Sun
Entertaining and moving. . . . Can be read with sheer pleasure not only for the delicacy of its emotions but for the truth of its perceptions. Like saying goodbye to a good friend, it's hard to see this brilliant novel come to an end. -- The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
A wonderful character--and a wonderful book. . . . Boyd persuades you that you've read the confidences of a real, flawed, marginal character battered by every malice and caprice of 20th-century history. -- The Seattle Times
A pleasure front to back, and a fond tip of the bowler hat to the upper-class fiction spawned by a long-gone world. -- Newsweek
One of the most skillful and appealing writers at work today. -- The Atlantic Monthly
A novel of deep humanity and insight. -- Newsday
