Trio

By: William Boyd

Narrated by: Hannah Arterton

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' '60s 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 best-selling 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?

Critic reviews

"William Boyd has probably written more classic books than any of his contemporaries." (Daily Telegraph)

"Simply the best realistic storyteller of his generation." (Sebastian Faulks)

Well written, but disappointing

Boyd is one the best living writers and his books are engaging and moving. Trio unfortunately has none of the characteristcs that made me appreciate Boyd's work. A weak plot, (partially compensated by good characters description) that does not provide emotions nor food for thought. All in all disappointing !
