A powerful and unusual love story set in a world that has lost the comfort of national identity and individualism, told by one of the 20th century's greatest writers.

Set in a world that has lost the comfort of national identity and individualism, this is a powerful and unusual love story told by one of the 20th century's greatest writers.

Anthony Farrant is back home after lying and cheating his way through one job after another in the Far East. When his adoring sister Kate sets him up with a role in Stockholm as bodyguard to her boss and lover, megalomaniac financier Krogh, Anthony seems set on a path to redemption. But when he receives orders from Krogh that offend his own sense of decency, he begins to leak information to a down-at-heel journalist- a decision that will cost Anthony much more than just his job.

First published in 1935, England Made Me is an early Greene novel and helped to cement his reputation as an important and exciting new writing talent.
