En 1939, una joven de origen ruso es reclutada por los Servicios Secretos Británicos. Treinta y siete años después, esta misma mujer le entrega a su hija Ruth el primer capítulo de su historia secreta. La vida de Eva Delectorskaya es un relato de espionaje y contraespionaje que revela un oscuro episodio de las relaciones entre Inglaterra y Estados Unidos. Ruth irá descubriendo que su madre ha vivido por y para el engaño y que, años después, aquella joven que jugó un papel decisivo en la historia europea sigue existiendo dentro de ella, tan alerta y recelosa como siempre. Sin respiro es una tensa, minuciosa y deslumbrante novela de espionaje en la que William Boyd nos sumerge en la naturaleza del miedo, de la mentira y la traición, en un mundo que ofrece como única alternativa la desconfianza.
William Andrew Murray Boyd is a British novelist, short story writer screenwriter and film director. He is best known for his novels, which include A Good Man in Africa (1981), Any Human Heart (2002), and Restless (2006), many of which have received critical acclaim and literary awards. Boyd has also written screenplays for film and television, including Chaplin (1992), and directed the World War I drama The Trench (1999). His work is characterised by its narrative vitality and range, earning him numerous accolades including the Whitbread First Novel Award, the James Tait Black Memorial Prize, and the Costa Book Award. A number of his works are what he describes as "whole-life" novels which follow a protagonist through the highs and lows of a varied and often remarkable life. He regularly fuses fact with fiction and his lead characters encounter well-known historical figures. He was appointed Commander of the Order of the British Empire in 2005 for services to literature. John Self, writing for The Booker Prizes, described Boyd’s work as “vigorous, entertaining novels” produced by an “exceptionally fertile imagination,” and praised his fiction as “fully committed to his stories and characters.”
