Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
Every life is both ordinary and extraordinary, and Logan Mountstuart's - stretching across the 20th century - is a rich tapestry of both. As a writer who finds inspiration with Hemingway in Paris and Virginia Woolf in London, as a spy recruited by Ian Fleming and betrayed in the war and as an art-dealer in '60s New York, Logan mixes with the men and women who shape his times. But as a son, friend, lover and husband, he makes the same mistakes we all do in our search for happiness. Here, then, is the story of a life lived to the full - and a journey deep into a very human heart.

Plot twists and authenticity by reference to real people and events.
Really engaging storytelling with a protagonist who was deeply flawed but lived a fascinating long life. Glad I listened to Audible rather than read the novel as the narrator was excellent.

A man’s life through the turmoil of 20thC
I so believed Logan Mountstuart was real! I felt all his sadness, all his joy and despondency. This is the best book by Boyd I have read. I felt bereft when it came to an end.

Something a little different - but wonderful
The whole book takes the form of a lifelong journal, and it's engrossing.
The narration is perfectly judged.
All in all, as captivating as ever from our greatest modern author.

Exceptional
Beautifully worded. A wondrous story meandering through a century of history. Well narrated. He uses the English language as it should be used.

Bad narration
I’m half way through this book having been recommended it but the narration is spoiling it for me. Simple words pronounced incorrectly, monotone voice and you can hear where sentences and passages have been inserted. Rather than bringing the characters to life the narration has left me feeling completely uninterested in them.
