Ted moves to London to become a journalist but quickly slides into debt. Things look up when he is given the opportunity to go to Romania to interview a film director and then attend the Moscow film festival. But someone has other plans for him. Has he walked into a trap?Brilliantly evocative of the insidiousness, paranoia and mistrust of the Soviet periodA thrilling read
-- Charlotte PhilbyWe all start out from Graham Greeneland — the journey across it, even out of it, is what matters.
Sarah Armstrong cuts her own path … an enviable talent for location and detail. She may be new to spy-noir but I think the master himself would endorse The Starlings of Bucharest — an enthralling Greeneland tale of an innocent young man out of his depth in a cold, cold war.
-- John LawtonThe prose is beguiling – Alice Munro meets John le Carré.
-- Fiona Erskine‘A mesmerising, evocative novel in which characterisation and narrative tension are in perfect balance.’
-- Barry ForshawSarah Armstrong is the author of four novels, most recently The Wolves of Leninsky Prospekt and The Starlings of Bucharest. She is also the author of A Summer of Spying, a short non fiction work about her experience of jury service during the Covid-19 pandemic, authority, truth, and the surveillance we are all exposed to.
She teaches undergraduate and postgraduate creative writing with the Open University. Sarah lives in Colchester with her husband and four children.
