In the quiet cul-de-sac where Keith and Stephen live the only immediate signs of the Second World War are the blackout at night and a single random bomb site. But the two boys start to suspect all is not as it seems when one day Keith announces a disconcerting discovery: the Germans have infiltrated his own family. And when the secret underground world they have dreamed up emerges from the shadows they find themselves engulfed in mysteries far deeper and more painful than they had bargained for.

Su questo libro

Recensione

A beautifully accomplished, richly nostalgic novel about supposed second-world-war espionage seen through the eyes of a young boy. (Sunday Times)

Deeply satisfying ... Frayn has written nothing better. (Independent)

A novel with a vivid sympathy for how lonely, scared and helpless being a child often feels, and how easily and eagerly we forget it ... A pleasure to read. (Guardian)

This brilliant and serious novel is Frayn on absolutely top - if unashamedly smart - form. (Daily Telegraph)

Bernard Shaw couldn't do it, Henry James couldn't do it, but the ingenious English author Michael Frayn does do it: write novels and plays with equal success ... Frayn's novel excels. (John Updike New Yorker)
