One of our newer novels is “Sweet Tooth” by Ian McEwan. Serena Frome, the beautiful daughter of an Anglican bishop, has a brief affair with an older man during her final year at Cambridge and finds herself being groomed for the Intelligence Services. She is sent on a “secret mission” that brings her into the literary world of Tom Haley, a promising young writer. First she loves his stories; then she begins to love the man. Can she maintain the fiction of her undercover life? And who is inventing whom? To answer these questions, Serena must abandon the first rule of espionage – trust no one. This book is also available as an audio download through OneClickDigital.
