Overview
«Boyd busca, de la forma más directa y clara posible, conectar con ese tipo de lector que añora ciertos tiempos en que los narradores se dedicaban a contar y visualizar, a divertir y entretener.» -Enrique Vila-Matas, El País
Estamos en el verano de 1968, el año de los asesinatos de Robert Kennedy y Martin Luther King, de las barricadas en París y del caos en Vietnam. En este mundo convulso, en el que en cada día parecen pasar semanas y en cada semana parecen concentrarse años, coinciden los tres protagonistas de esta historia: un productor, una novelista y una actriz. Talbot, que lucha por sacar adelante una película, oculta algo en su apartamento; Elfrida intenta ahogar su bloqueo como escritora en litros de vodka; Anny, tan glamurosa, se pregunta por qué la CIA está de repente tan interesada en su vida. Trío es una novela trepidante que pone sobre la mesa una pregunta fundamental: ¿qué hace que nuestras vidas merezcan la pena y, sobre todo, cómo actuar si descubrimos que no es así?
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
From the award-winning, best-selling author comes a rollicking novel with a dark undertow, set around three unforgettable individuals and a doomed movie set.
A producer. A novelist. An actress. It's summer 1968--a time of war and assassinations, protests and riots. While the world is reeling, our trio is involved in making a disaster-plagued, Swingin' Sixties British movie in sunny Brighton. All are leading secret lives. As the movie shoot zigs and zags, these layers of secrets become increasingly more untenable. Pressures build inexorably. The FBI and CIA get involved. Someone is going to crack--or maybe they all will. From one of Britain's best loved writers comes an exhilarating, tender novel--by turns hilarious and heartbreaking--that asks the vital questions: What makes life worth living? And what do you do if you find it isn't?
