Courting Trouble

England in the 1960s, its conformism under challenge. In the background, America's attempt to escalate a way out of Vietnam. Philippa Bunting's idealistic young heroine is confronted by the duplicity of a middle aged admirer, who supplements his university salary with spying for the CIA.
In this, Philippa Bunting's third novel, her humour and observation of character are more lively than ever, recalling the subtlety of film noire.
