William Boyd was born in 1952 in Accra, Ghana, and grew up there and in Nigeria. He is the author of sixteen highly acclaimed, bestselling novels and five collections of stories. Any Human Heart was longlisted for the Booker Prize and adapted into a TV series with Channel 4. In 2005, Boyd was awarded the CBE. He is married and divides his time between London and south-west France.
A middle-aged film producer, a novelist with writer's block and a
glamorous young actress come together to make a Swinging Sixties
movie in this jaunty page-turner. But everyone is living a double
life. Even names can't be taken on trust. Full of neat phrases and
quirkily funny scenes, it's an elating read
*The Times, Best Paperbacks of 2021*
What could be more reassuring in troubling times than a new William
Boyd novel? Trio is immensely readable, its descriptions full of
light and colour, its humour spot on, its mood a perfect mix of
frolicsome and melancholy
*Sunday Telegraph*
An absorbing novel about lives spiralling out of control and the
drastic measures required to right them
*Economist*
The characters are wonderfully written and I loved escaping to the
gossipy world of the film set
*Good Housekeeping, Book of the Month*
Boyd keeps the plot racing along, yet for all the twists, the real
delight is in William Boyd's wry portrait of a bygone age . . .
Boyd's usual sure touch is evident throughout this tender, gently
comic work
*Independent*
One of our best contemporary storytellers. . . Trio embraces
comedy, tragedy and redemption. It succeeds impressively because of
its dramatic, often sensational, revelations
*Spectator*
I am a huge fan of William Boyd and the tender way he writes about
the flaws and frailties of his characters. Trio is his best novel
in years
*Red, The Best Books to Read this October*
Reading William Boyd's Trio is like shrugging on a worn leather
jacket on the first brisk morning of autumn: cosy but cool . . . He
has enormous fun with the worlds - and egos - of page and
screen
*The Times*
Enormous fun . . . Boyd's characters are vibrant, his prose
elegant, comedy excellent: the result is a book that's
compassionate and compelling
*Tatler*
Boyd's writing is as fluent as ever but it's the ideas pulsing
beneath the surface that distinguish Trio
*Financial Times*
