Our first book will be Restless, by William Boyd. Discussion will begin on Sunday, December 2.
Boyd’s ninth novel, an absorbing historical thriller, is loosely based on the history of a covert branch of British intelligence created to coax America into the Second World War. The story unfolds on parallel tracks as Sally Gilmartin, born Eva Delectorskaya, a Russian emigree recruited into the British Secret Service in 1939, reveals her clandestine past in an autobiography that she gives to her daughter, Ruth, a graduate student and single mother living a dull civilian life in Oxford in 1976.

I would love to be part of this — I miss my old book club so much. I’m off to to the library now.

I’m a big maybe. Sounds like fun, but may have to start with the next book, which hopefully I could read over the Christmas break.

I will do my best to join in, but not sure with the whole sleeping thing I will make it!
