* Inspired by a real house, an amazing modernist symbol, Simon Mawer has written his best novel yet, a story guaranteed to dazzle and intrigue the reader
Inspired by a real house, this is the tale of the people that come and go from Landauer House over the years, as it passes from Czech to Russian hands. Shortlisted for the Booker Prize, it follows Mawer's previous novels The Gospel Of Judas, The Fall and Swimming To Ithaca.
** 'Love triangles litter Mawer's story. They bear witness to his great talent for grasping the non-linear nature of desire.
