54 reviewsMartin Booth’s fictional history of Alexander Bayliss, a British citizen arrested for spying in the Soviet Union in the early 1950s. "By turns terrifying and moving, an observant book likely to be long remembered" (Kirkus Reviews).
Presumed dead by the British Government, a convicted British spy survives 20 years in a Soviet labour camp. Eventually freed from the gulag in the 1970s, he finds he has no reason to return to the West - he is now Russian in everything but birth. He eventually becomes a local schoolmaster - much loved by all the village.
"As we accompany Bayliss on a tour through his present and past, this meditative, unadorned novel, short-listed for the Booker Prize in 1998, raises questions about home, freedom and the meaning of a life that resonates long after the final page is turned." - The New York Times Magazine
