![]() ![]() ![]() This puts her in a precarious position of divided loyalties. Undercover, Serena enlists writer Tom Haley and starts an affair with him. The selected novelists won’t know about MI5’s involvement or objectives. MI5 devises Operation Sweet Tooth in which novelists will be supported financially to contribute to a war of ideas against the Soviet Union. It is the early ‘70s of the Oil Crisis, miners’ strikes, the emergence of the IRA and the Cold War. Is a balance of power, even if it means mutual deceit, essential for peaceful relationships? We follow voracious reader, Serena Frome (rhymes with plume) from her student years in Cambridge into her first job at the Secret Service (MI5), for which her middle-aged lover recruits her. By Ian McEwan (Jonathan Cape) ISBN 9780224097383 ![]()
