Trio
Autor William Boyd Hannah Artertonen Limba Engleză CD-Audio – 7 oct 2020
A producer. A novelist. An actress.
It is summer in 1968, the year of the assassinations of Martin Luther King and Robert Kennedy. While the world is reeling our trio is involved in making a rackety Swingin' Sixties British movie in sunny Brighton. All are leading secret lives.
As the film is shot, with its usual drastic ups and downs, so does our trio's private, secret world begin to take over their public one. Pressures build inexorably - someone's going to crack. Or maybe they all will.
From one of Britain's bestselling and best loved writers comes an exhilarating, tender novel that asks the vital questions: what makes life worth living? And what do you do if you find it isn't?

An absorbing novel about lives spiralling out of control and the drastic measures required to right them
The characters arewonderfully writtenand Iloved escaping to the gossipy world of the film set
Boyd keeps the plotracing along, yet for all the twists, the real delight is in William Boyd'swry portrait of a bygone age. . . Boyd's usual sure touch is evident throughout thistender, gently comicwork
One of our best contemporary storytellers. . .Trioembraces comedy, tragedy and redemption. It succeeds impressively because of itsdramatic, often sensational, revelations
I am a huge fan of William Boyd andthe tender way he writes about the flaws and frailties of his characters.Trioishis best novel in years
Reading William Boyd's Trio is like shrugging on a worn leather jacket on the first brisk morning of autumn: cosy but cool . . .He has enormous fun with the worlds - and egos - of page and screen
Enormous fun . . . Boyd's characters are vibrant, his prose elegant, comedy excellent: the result is a book that's compassionate and compelling
Boyd's writing is as fluent as ever but it'sthe ideas pulsing beneath the surface that distinguishTrio
Triois an intricate set of variations on the idea of alternative selves, well beyond the title's trio,unobtrusively elegant in its formal beauty
