PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Robert Harris is the author of six novels - Fatherland, Enigma, Archangel, Pompeii, Imperium and The Ghost - all of which were worldwide bestsellers. His work has been translated into thirty-one languages. He was born in Nottingham in 1957 and is a graduate of Cambridge University. He worked as a reporter on the BBC's Newsnight and Panorama programmes, before becoming Political Editor of the Observer in 1987, and then a columnist on the Sunday Times and the Daily Telegraph. In 2003 he was named Columnist of the Year in the British Press Awards. He lives near Hungerford in Berkshire with his wife and their four children.
The brilliance of Enigma is that it gives readers the sense of being contemporary with its characters and then leads them on a dark journey of discovery to arrive at another of the Second World War's blackest horror stories, one not fully admitted until half a century later... Altogether top-class stuff. Peter Millar * The Times * Enigma totally gripped me * Sunday Times * After the resounding success of his first novel, Fatherland, the question was what would Robert Harris do for an encore? This is his resounding answer * Mail on Sunday * Extraordinarily good... undoubtedly the best thriller of the year, and perhaps of several years to come * Evening Standard * I finished the book regretful it had ended, and full of wonder at this extraordinary world, people and achievements it evoked * Observer *
