Sweet Tooth by Ian Mcewan
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. McEwans mastery dazzles us in this superbly deft and witty story of betrayal and intrigue, love, and the invented self.
Highly entertaining * Guardian Books of the Year *
Gloriously readable and, at times, wickedly funny * Irish Times *
Sweet Tooth takes the expectations and tropes of the Cold War thriller and ratchets up the suspense, while turning it into something else.. A well-crafted pleasure to read, its smooth prose and slippery intelligence sliding down like cream * Independent *
Sublime...impressive...rich and enjoyable * Financial Times *
Riveting... Delicious... Gripping * Guardian *
