Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
Every life is both ordinary and extraordinary, and Logan Mountstuart's - stretching across the 20th century - is a rich tapestry of both. As a writer who finds inspiration with Hemingway in Paris and Virginia Woolf in London, as a spy recruited by Ian Fleming and betrayed in the war and as an art-dealer in '60s New York, Logan mixes with the men and women who shape his times. But as a son, friend, lover and husband, he makes the same mistakes we all do in our search for happiness. Here, then, is the story of a life lived to the full - and a journey deep into a very human heart.

Plot twists and authenticity by reference to real people and events.
Really engaging storytelling with a protagonist who was deeply flawed but lived a fascinating long life. Glad I listened to Audible rather than read the novel as the narrator was excellent.

A man’s life through the turmoil of 20thC
I so believed Logan Mountstuart was real! I felt all his sadness, all his joy and despondency. This is the best book by Boyd I have read. I felt bereft when it came to an end.

This book made me cry...
I loved this book, but initially found the narrator a little distant hence the four stars. By the end I really felt that he had fully engaged with the story and by then I would have given him a full thumbs up! But this is actually how the book goes... it just takes time to get going and this comes across in the narration but be patient you will come to absolutely love LMS and live every moment with him. Another excellent book from this author.

What a journey
This book is joy from start to finish, so sad at times but real, there's no wrapping you in cotton wool. I loved it and I will miss logan dearly.
