What to expect
BY THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF LONGBOURN
Paris, 1939: The pavement rumbles with the footfall of Nazi soldiers marching along the Champs Elysees. A young writer, recently arrived from Ireland to make his mark, smokes one last cigarette with his lover before the city they know is torn apart. Soon, he will put is own life and those of his loved ones in mortal danger by joining the Resistance...
Spies, artists, deprivation, danger and passion: this is a story of life at the edges of human experience, and of how one man came to translate it all into art.
Praise for Jo Baker's LONGBOURN:
'Intoxicating' Guardian
'Engrossing' Sunday Times
'Audacious' New York Times
Critics Review
-
Skilful . . . daring . . . an extraordinary story
The Guardian -
[It is] the unexpected Beckett that is on show here. Baker pays tribute to a man who joined the French Resistance, narrowly escaped the Gestapo, fled south on foot and went into hiding, and was eventually awarded the Croix de Guerre
The Times -
A fascinating fictional account of Samuel Beckett’s wartime years
IAN RANKIN -
Beautifully written, empathetic and unflinching, it is very, very good
Daily Mail -
vivid and well-wrought
