Keith Ovenden's urbane and clever memoir focuses on the early period of his marriage to Helen Sutch,during which time her father, the more famous and controversial Bill, was an enormously significantnational figure. It carries on through Sutch's trial on charges of spying for the Russians and his death. Itssharp focus is on the way in which Sutch, and his wife, the well-known lawyer Shirley Smith, made theyoung couple's life hell and it offers unprecedented insights into the SIS's accusations against Sutch. It isan unusual, distinctive, and beautifully crafted book.
