The main thing this book made me want to do was go out and read more about communism in Cuba, and about the assasination of Trotsky (again, another tale so bizarre that it could only be fact). It's a very good read - although pick it up knowing that you're going to have to set some serious time aside to finish it!
Many thanks to Bitter Lemon Press for the copy. We also have a review of [[Heretics by Leonardo Padura]].
[[Restless by William Boyd]] is another novel that takes fictional characters into real -life events - wonderfully written, and with similar tales of spies to ''The Man Who Loved Dogs''
[[The Fear Index by Robert Harris]] is a more contemporary thriller that also looks at corruption - and thrills whilst also examining the fabric of a society.
