A terrific tale of WWII espionage, as a young Russian woman is taught the how-to's of being a spy, and possibly a counter-spy. It's entertaining, enlightening and an all around pleasure to read. It well deserves the awards that it has won.

An enjoyable read, Boyd ties together the complicated plot well. Ultimately, I was disappointed that I was unable to care very deeply about the characters, but the plot was intriguing enough to carry me to the end. Boyd has clearly done his research into the pre-War II spy game and he made a good choice to intertwine life in 1970s Britain with the notion that history is not easily escaped. A straightforward telling of his tale wouldn't have been as effective. Restless is smoothly written and well-played.
