He may not write the best prose in the world, but boy can William Boyd tell a great story. I just find his novels so readable, the story just seems to flow. No pyrotechnics, but every page has interest. The life of Amory Clay is not always easy, but what trouble she encounters is usually self inflicted. But as the author "quotes" at the very start "from time to time - you feel life's sweet caress". Attractive, reckless, unreliable, intelligent. Amory is all these and much more.
