"Readers won’t find anything here in the seafaring line, but they will find the same razor-sharp observation that characterizes O’Brien’s later and more familiar work. He renders Richard’s world with a painterly eye.”. HTML:<i>Booklist</i>. Richard Temple has beaten his Nazi captors. He has mentally outfoxed them. To withstand the beatings and torture, the underground agent fabricates a fictitious persona to "reluctantly" share with his tormentors. Once satisfying his interrogators, Temple must reassemble his mental state, putting his psyche back together by conducting a minute examination of his life. Narrator Graeme Malcolm does a splendid job of bringing life and interest to this highly detailed interior process. His quick pace and bright and expansive inflection draw listeners into what some may feel to be a far too introspective look at the life of this inventive hero. T.J.M.

To stay sane while denying the charges and absorbing the beatings of his captors, he conducts a minute examination of his life. Temple escaped from a blighted childhood and his alcoholic mother thanks to an artistic gift. But his life as a painter in 1930s London was cruelly deprived. To eat, he became a forger. He was rescued by the love of a wealthy woman, and the failure of that relationship coupled with the outbreak of war propelled him into the world of espionage.</p>. Media Type: Audiobook.
