Deb recommends listening to Restless by William Boyd

Rosamund Pike, who you may remember from the films Die Another Day, An Education and Pride and Prejudice, is a delight to the ears as she narrates William Boyd's ninth novel. An espionage thriller, Restless moves back and forth from the British countryside and romantic Edinburgh to prewar Paris.While the book spans pre World War II to the present day, Restless focuses on a mother/daughter relationship in which secret propaganda, spydom and hidden identities are shockingly revealed.
