| Michael Frayn's fascinating and intricate novel, Spies, considered
by many to be his finest work, is a popular choice for study,
as well as possessing great appeal for the general reader. Surprisingly,
this is the first critical evaluation of it. Angela Topping
investigates the threads Frayn weaves together so skilfully
as, through flashback, he recreates a wartime narrative that
still haunts the hero years after the events took place. Through
close analysis, she demonstrates Frayn's attention to detail
as he gradually reveals the full identities of the narrator
and the RAF deserter whose death he unwittingly hastens. |
| Angela Topping is an experienced teacher,

and her teaching resources have been widely published. |
