Synopsis
Booker Prize Longlisted Novel & BBC Between The Covers pick.
. . ."We keep a journal to entrap that collection of selves that forms us, the individual human being." . . .
Every life is both ordinary and extraordinary, and Logan Mountstuart's - stretching across the Twentieth Century - is a rich tapestry of both.
As a writer who finds inspiration with Hemingway in Paris and Virginia Woolf in London, as a spy recruited by Ian Fleming and betrayed in the war, and as an art-dealer in '60's New York, Logan mixes with the men and women who shape his times.
But as a son, father, friend, lover and husband, he makes the same mistakes we all do in our search for happiness. Here, then, is the story of a life lived to the full - and a journey deep into a very human heart.
Any Human Heart was adapted for a Channel 4 drama starring Kim Cattrall, Gillian Anderson, Matthew Macfadyen and Jim Broadbent and is perfect for readers of Sebastian Faulks and Hilary Mantel.
