Title: as usual, Boyd delivers a terrific story
Review: 'Restless' contains two narrative threads, one modern (mid-1970s) and the other circa 1940, that are interlaced as alternate chapters. In the modern segment we had a young mother trying to sort out her life, and is coping with an increasingly odd-acting mother who announces that she is not who she thinks is; in fact she is a Russian-born WW II spy. In the pre-WW II thread we see how this woman became a spy and what sort of spying she actually did. Both narrative threads blend together beautifully; the book is immensely readable. It all comes together with a satisfying conclusion.PS - I admit William Boyd is one of my favorite authors, and 'Restless' is on par with the best of his works.
