This summer, meet Sadie Smith: seductive, cunning and going undercover - the Booker-shortlisted, wickedly entertaining New York Times bestseller 'Hugely enjoyable' SUNDAY TIMES 'Wonderfully seductive' ALAN HOLLINGHURST 'Really fantastic - get it!' SARAH JESSICA PARKER 'Entrancing' MICK HERRON Sadie Smith - a 34-year-old American undercover agent of ruthless tactics and bold opinions - is sent by her mysterious but powerful employers to a remote corner of France. Her mission: to infiltrate a commune of radical eco-activists influenced by the beliefs of an enigmatic elder, Bruno Lacombe. Sadie casts her cynical eye over this region of ancient farms and sleepy villages, and finds Bruno's idealism laughable, but just as she is certain she's the seductress and puppet master of those she surveils, Bruno Lacombe is seducing her with his ingenious counter-histories, his artful laments, his own tragic story. Beneath this taut, dazzling story of espionage and intrigue lies one of a woman caught in the crossfire between the past and the future, and a profound treatise on human history.
