Trio

From the award-winning, bestselling author of Any Human Heart comes a rollicking novel about the troubled making of a Swingin' Sixties British movie

It's summer 1968, and while the world is reeling, a movie producer, a novelist, and an actress are involved in the making of a disaster-plagued movie filming in the sunny seaside town of Brighton. All are leading secret lives--the movie producer is in the closet; the author is an alcoholic; and the actress is sleeping with her costar--and as the movie shoot zigs and zags, these layers of secrets become increasingly more untenable. Pressures build inexorably. Then the FBI and CIA get involved. Someone is going to crack--or maybe they all will. From one of Britain's best-loved writers comes an exhilarating, tender novel--by turns hilarious and heartbreaking--that asks the vital questions: What makes life worth living? And what do you do if you find it isn't?
