A gorgeous novel and an author to watch.

Brilliant! One of my favorite books. William Boyd is a master storyteller and so clever. We are - after all-so similar to Primates. This is a great book selection for book clubs that think outside the "Oprah box" and "chic lit". Enjoy!

Hands down the best book of the decade. I read this book before the economic crisis began and therefore was not shocked at the actions the Government took. Naomi Klein is brilliant! This book should be required reading for everyone.
