Set in the 70s when Britain was suffering industrial unrest and terrorism, beautiful Serena finds herself in the world of espionage, albeit in a rather low-key way as she 'adopts' an aspiring young writer. The terrific twist at the end did not compensate for my lack of enthusiasm for the general story and the intrusion of real people in the story, knowing references to Martin Amis, Tom Maschler, etc. But the writing is good.
