About this listen
Brought to you by Penguin.
Every life is both ordinary and extraordinary, and Logan Mountstuart's - stretching across the 20th century - is a rich tapestry of both. As a writer who finds inspiration with Hemingway in Paris and Virginia Woolf in London, as a spy recruited by Ian Fleming and 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.

A story of its time
Through the eyes of the main character the reader is taken on a history lesson of sorts. It is an insight into an author and his journey through life, decade after decade. The journey while rooted in his English origins takes us to many countries and to many people that made up the writing world of the last century. It is also a story that gives an insight into his world that includes, what he describes as something more than a roller coaster ride - more of a yo-yo. It is well worth listening to and narrated well. I recommended it.

Delightful listen
Quite possibly the best book I’ve listened to. I loved the story, loved the twists, turns, tales of last century that feel so relevant today. Brilliant.

One of the all time great novels. This is true literature!
Just gets better and better. So wish all books could be like this. It’s a long time since I’ve enjoyed a book so much
