Paperback. Zustand: Good. 304 pages. name ffep return to the site of a dimly remembered but troubling childhood summer in wart ime London. As he pieces together his scattered memories, we are brought back to a quiet, suburban street where two boys--Keith and his sidekick, Stephen--are e ngaged in their own version of the war spying on the neighbors, recording their movements, and ferreting out their secrets. But when Keith utters six shocking w ords, the boy''s game of espionage takes a sinister and unintended turn, transfo rming a wife''s simple errands and the ordinary rituals of family life into the elements of adult catastrophe. Childhood and innocence, secrecy, lies and repres sed violence are all gently laid bare as once again Michael Frayn powerfully dem onstrates that what appears to be happening in front of our eyes often turns out to be something we cannot see at all.
