Fiction

This is the story of Logan Mountstuart, told through his intimate journals. His life spans the 20th century and his travels take the reader from Uruguay to Oxford, Paris, the Bahamas, New York and Africa. We meet his three wives, and notaries from the worlds of royalty and literature. Every life is both ordinary and extraordinary, and Logan Mountstuart�s � lived from the beginning to the end of the twentieth century � is a rich tapestry of both. As a writer who finds inspiration in Paris and London, as a spy betrayed in the war and as an art-dealer in �60s New York, Logan mixes with the men and women who shape his times. But as a son, friend, lover and husband, he makes the same mistakes we all do in our search for happiness. Here, then, is the story of a life lived to the full � and a journey deep into a very human heart. Find out more about William Boyd @ www.penguin.co.uk Paperback (B-Format) First published 2002.
