Krátky popis
Serena Frome, the beautiful daughter of an Anglican bishop, has a
brief affair with an older man during her final year at Cambridge,
and finds herself being groomed for the intelligence services. The
year is 1972. Britain, confronting economic disaster, is being torn
apart by industrial unrest and terrorism and faces its fifth state
of emergency. The Cold War has entered a moribund phase, but the
fight goes on, especially in the cultural sphere. Serena, a
compulsive reader of novels, is sent on a ‘secret mission’ which
brings her into the literary world of Tom Haley, a promising young
writer. First she loves his stories, then she begins to love the
man. Can she maintain the fiction of her undercover life? And who
is inventing whom? To answer these questions, Serena must abandon
the first rule of espionage – trust no one. McEwan’s mastery
dazzles us in this superbly deft and witty story of betrayal and
intrigue, love, and the invented self. Ian McEwan is a critically
acclaimed author of short stories and novels for adults, as well as
The Daydreamer, a children's novel illustrated by Anthony Browne.
His first published work, a collection of short stories, First
Love, Last Rites, won the Somerset Maugham Award. His novels
include The Child in Time, which won the 1987 Whitbread Novel of
the Year Award, The Cement Garden, Enduring Love, Amsterdam, which
won the 1998 Booker Prize, Atonement, Saturday, On Chesil Beach,
Solar, Sweet Tooth and The Children Act.
