I envy you if you’re yet to devour William Boyd’s Any Human Heart. Just as enjoyable on its first read as it is on its second (or third), the cult novel follows Logan Mountstuart’s life across the 20th Century. Spanning an anything-but-ordinary existence as a writer mingling with Hemingway in Paris, a spy during the Second World War – recruited by none other than Ian Fleming – an art dealer in the swinging Sixties and much more, Boyd explores familial, romantic and platonic love with his signature warm and witty voice.
