The fictional memoirs of aspiring author Logan Mountstuart, whose story told without the benefit of hindsight, brings to the fore the frailties of the human character and life's unpredictable passage. Set against poignant events in the 20C. you take each twist and turn as simple facts of life. Vividly drawn relationships include real historical characters, which rather than being a cheap nod to celebrity, effectively adds to the vitality of the story. Dare I suggest, a modern classic?
