Description: Rachel KushnerCreation Lake 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.Signed by Rachel Kushner to the title pageShortlisted for the 2024 Man Booker PrizeA fine, unread copy of a first edition, first impression hardback in a fine, unclipped dustjacket which has been enclosed in a clear, removable protective cover. published - Jonathan Cape, 2024 All books are swathed in biodegradable bubble wrap and posted in strong, custom made book boxes to ensure undamaged delivery
