The master storyteller returns to Budleigh to round off the Festival with his latest novel. The bestselling author of Fatherland, Munich and Act of Oblivion imagines 1914 London and the British Prime Minister on the verge of leading the nation into war. But he’s embroiled in a love affair with 26-year-old Venetia Stanley, a woman half his age. She’s aristocratic, clever, bored, reckless. This could have world-changing implications.
