FROM THE SUNDAY TIMES NUMBER ONE BESTSELLING AUTHOR

Summer 1914. A world on the brink of catastrophe.

In London, 26-year-old Venetia Stanley – aristocratic, clever, bored, reckless – is having a love affair with the Prime Minister, H. H. Asquith, a man more than twice her age. He writes to her obsessively, sharing the most sensitive matters of state.

As Asquith reluctantly leads the country into war with Germany, a young intelligence officer is assigned to investigate a leak of top secret documents – and suddenly what was a sexual intrigue becomes a matter of national security that will alter the course of political history.

Seamlessly weaving fact and fiction in a way that no writer does better, Precipice is the thrilling new novel from Robert Harris.

‘A riveting tale of politics, war and erotic obsession’ Sunday Times

'Harris writes with a skill and ingenuity that few other novelists can match' Financial Times

    Commentaires

    I’m not fond of the word masterpiece, but this is a masterpiece (Nigella Lawson)
    Gripping drama (Jake Kerridge)
    Brilliantly blurring fact and fiction, Sunday Times bestselling author Robert Harris is back in full force
    Fans of this hugely popular author should lap up this tale that mixes fact with fiction, as is his trademark
    'A beautifully crafted novel . . . a dexterous blend of the political and the personal . . . Precipice is Robert Harris's 16th novel, and there hasn’t been a dud among them' (Allan Massie)
    Precipice hones in on those vital summer days when Britain hovered on the brink of war, before plunging into the abyss that arguably destroyed European civilisation
    Robert Harris is one of those authors you know you can rely on. His 16th novel, Precipice, is no exception
    Robert Harris is a sort of genius . . . I am knocked out by the assurance of his portrait of a time, a relationship, and the perils to which Britain’s leader exposed himself amidst a supreme historic catastrophe. The book is yet another triumph for the author (Max Hastings)
    Few have mastered the alchemy of the popular historical novel quite like Harris
    Rollicking . . . Harris’s best book since Conclave

    Both the author and the presentation gave expectations of a thrilling story. The beginning goes in that direction, but after few chapters the story becomes obvious and repetitive. No thrilling, no misteries, The author developed the story based on the content of letters really written by the British premier tò Venicia Stanley. 560 letters according tò Wikipedia.

    Boring and repetitive
