Sinopsis

u003cpu003eu003cbu003e**The dazzling new novel from the prize-winning, bestselling author of u003ciu003eMiddle England**u003c/iu003eu003c/bu003eu003cbru003e u003cbru003e In the heady summer of 1977, a naïve young woman called Calista sets out from Athens to venture into the wider world. On a Greek island that has been turned into a film set, she finds herself working for the famed Hollywood director Billy Wilder, about whom she knows almost nothing. But the time she spends in this glamorous, unfamiliar new life will change her for good.u003cbru003e u003cbru003e While Calista is thrilled with her new adventure, Wilder himself is living with the realisation that his star may be on the wane. Rebuffed by Hollywood, he has financed his new film with German money, and when Calista follows him to Munich for the shooting of further scenes, she finds herself joining him on a journey of memory into the dark heart of his family history.u003cbru003e u003cbru003e In a novel that is at once a tender coming-of-age story and an intimate portrait of one of cinema's most intriguing figures, Jonathan Coe turns his gaze on the nature of time and fame, of family and the treacherous lure of nostalgia. When the world is catapulting towards change, do you hold on for dear life or decide it's time to let go?u003cbru003e _______________________________________________________u003cbru003e u003cbru003e u003ciu003ePraise for Jonathan Coeu003c/iu003eu003cbru003e u003cbru003e u003cbu003e'Coe is a writer of uncommon decency' u003ciu003eObserveru003c/iu003eu003c/bu003eu003cbru003e u003cbu003eu003cbru003e 'Brilliantly funny' u003ciu003eEconomistu003c/iu003eu003c/bu003eu003cbru003e u003cbu003eu003cbru003e 'Superb' u003ciu003eTimesu003c/iu003eu003c/bu003eu003cbru003e u003cbu003eu003cbru003e 'Very, very funny' u003ciu003eStylistu003c/iu003eu003c/bu003eu003c/pu003e
