Guardian Bookshop Notes:

The first new title from Amis in three years, this was chosen as Book Of The Year by Lionel Shriver, Geordie Grieg and Adam Mars-Jones on its hardback publication. Centring on a love triangle played out in Moscow and the Stalinist slave camps, it's a short novel of great depth and richness. 'The novel has a culminative power and resonates with many reflections about the course of individual destiny in a profoundly cruel universe' Douglas Kennedy, "The Times"

Publisher's description:

There were conjugal visits in the slave camps of the USSR. Valiant women would travel continental distances, over weeks and months, in the hope of spending a night, with their particular enemy of the people, in the House of Meetings. The consequences of these liaisons were almost invariably tragic. This title is about one such liaison.
