Sweet Caress by William Boyd
A famous and treasured writer in Britain but still a relatively unknown in America, Boyd writes intelligent, big-screen novels that stay with you like memories of a great friend. This one tells the story of Amory Clay, a photographer who gets her start covering fascist riots in 1930s London and then goes on to cover World War II and Vietnam. A daughter, mother, lover, and devoted friend, Clay’s life is both representative of her time and truly extraordinary. —Rico
