Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

'There are not many 78-year-olds capable of surprising their audience, but King is one of them' - D.J. Taylor, Independent 'That rare phenomenon, a novel by a gnarled old literary presence that extends rather than consolidates his reputation. Very good' - D.J. Taylor, Independent 'One of our great writers, of the calibre of Graham Greene and Nabokov' - Beryl Bainbridge, BBC Today Programme

Reseña del editor:

Francis King's Booker-longlisted novel looks at the havoc wrought when a young Egyptian - an illegal immigrant - finds himself in London. Ahmad leads a double life, befriending and lodging with an elderly woman who suffers from MS, while at the same time throwing himself into the London gay scene. Jealousy looms when he begins a relationship with a gay protector - and is arrested because of his illegal status.
