Brazzaville Beach

8,Utterly engaging....A novel of ideas, of big themes....William Boyd is a champion storyteller. - New York Times Book Review William Boyd's classic Brazzaville Beach has been called as a bold seamless blend of philosophy and suspense... [that] nevertheless remains accessible to general readers on a level of pure entertainment. (Boston Globe). Released to coincide with Boyd's latest novel, Ordinary Thunderstorms, Brazzaville Beach tells the story of a British primate-researcher who relocates to war-torn Africa in the wake of her husband's tragic descent into mental illness. Intense, exhilarating, and engrossing, Brazzaville Beach is rich in action and thought, and William Boyd a writer who allows the scope of his work to expand to the point of bursting.
