Description: From Rachel Kushner comes a new novel about a seductive and cunning American woman who infiltrates an anarchist collective in France **LONGLISTED FOR THE BOOKER PRIZE 2024** 'The most exciting writer of her generation' BRET EASTON ELLIS 'Reinvents the spy novel in one cool, erudite gesture' HERNAN DIAZ 'Compulsively readable... Kill Bill written by John le Carre' OBSERVER Seductive and cunning American spy-for-hire Sadie Smith has been sent by her mysterious but powerful employers to a remote corner of France. Her mission- to infiltrate a commune of radical eco-activists influenced by the beliefs of an enigmatic elder, Bruno Lacombe, who has rejected civilisation, lives in a Neanderthal cave, and believes the path to enlightenment is a return to primitivism. Sadie casts her cynical eye over this region of ancient farms and sleepy villages, and finds Bruno's idealism laughable, but just as she is certain she's the seductress and puppet master of those she surveils, Bruno Lacombe is seducing her with his ingenious counter-histories, his artful laments, his own tragic story. Beneath this a taut, dazzling story of espionage and intrigue lies one of a woman caught in the crossfire between the past and the future, and a profound treatise on human history.
