Description

Kenneth Brill's life was unusual. By the time he was arrested for espionage towards the end of World War II, he had an extraordinary story to tell. As he recounted his unusual childhood, training as a painter at art school, and his involvement in high-stakes deception, it became clear that Kenneth lived life to the full - whether as son, friend, lover, teacher or pupil. His experiences were marked by both black humor and bleakness, driven by original characters who defied categorization. The result is a complex novel that rewards close attention and multiple readings. Gerard Woodward's masterful storytelling brings this remarkable individual to life, leaving the reader wondering whose side Kenneth was really on.
