MICHAEL FRAYN

 

SPIES, 2002, Faber & Faber Limited

 

This is a beautifully told story that draws the reader into a world where games and reality merge, and distant memories of childhood mingle with the reason and logic of an adult. Written through the eyes of Stephen, we witness him coming to terms with the end of his innocent childhood games, and entering the world of adults, where boyfriends, cigarettes and secrets lurk. AN June05
