A major condition of a successful suspense novel is that it is a page-turner. This book is a good example. Rice takes the reader/listener almost immediately to that disquieting place where what-happens-next is a priority. He sometimes tests our willingness to believe his story's plot but always manages to avoid crossing that line (learned from his mother?). The voice of the reader is particularly appropriate here. This is the second of his books I've heard, and now I will pursue all others.

Subtle twists
Revisado: 09-30-07
A classic tale seemlessly shifting from the present to memories of the Edwardian period forward. The author's phrases and words fit beautifully the era and the bittersweet tale. And the reader is utterly convincing as the storyteller and main character. Hovering in the background is a mixture of longing and inevitability. Here is a story that is satisfying and complete in its telling.

"I am Eva Delectorskaya," Sally Gilmartin announces, and so on a warm summer afternoon in 1976 her daughter, Ruth, learns that everything she ever knew about her mother was a carefully constructed lie. Sally Gilmartin is a respectable English widow living in picturesque Cotswold village; Eva Delectorskaya was a rigorously trained World War II spy, a woman who carried fake passports and retreated to secret safe houses, a woman taught to lie and deceive, and above all, to never trust anyone. Three decades later the secrets of Sally's past still haunt her.

This is storytelling at its best. Beautiful language and a straight-forward plot creeping up on you until you are hooked. An unfolding intrigue marks this spin: no flatout fear, just reader/listner curiosity turning into an intense 'must know' right up to the end. Boyd has such a wonderful way with words, never extraneous, always amplifying the characters, the locale and the story. Ms. Pike has just the right sound and convincing multiple voices to make the read reminiscent of my early 'read-me-a-story' experiences. Can we please have more of William Boyd's books on audio? He's a delicious writer!
