William Boyd, the Whitbread-winning author of nine novels including A Good Man in Africa, An Ice Cream War and and The Blue Afternoon will read from his new work at this stellar evening event. William Boyd’s gripping new novel, Restless, explores the devastating consequences of duplicity and betrayal against the backdrop of the Second World War, while presenting a remarkable portrait of a female spy.

What happens when everything you thought you knew about your mother turns out to be an elaborate lie? During the summer of 1976, Ruth Gilmartin discovers that her very English mother Sally is really Eva Delectorskaya, a Russian émigré and one-time spy.
