520    Set in a luxurious grand hotel just outside Lisbon, at the
       height of the Second World War, 'Estoril' is a delightful 
       and poignant novel about exile, divided loyalties, fear 
       and survival. The hotel's guests include spies, fallen 
       kings, refugees from the Balkans, Nazis, American 
       diplomats and stateless Jews. The Portuguese secret police
       broodingly observe the visitors, terrified that their 
       country's neutrality will be compromised. The novel 
       seamlessly fuses the stories of its invented characters 
       with appearances by historical figures like the ex-King 
       Carol of Romania, the great Polish pianist Jan Paderewski,
       the British agent Ian Fleming, the Russian chess 
       grandmaster Alexander Alekhine and the French writer and 
       flyer Antoine de St Exupery, who forms a poignant 
       friendship with a young Jewish boy living alone in the 
       hotel. The stories, most of them true, from Popov's 
       rigorous debriefings by his German intelligence handler to
       Alekhine's terrible death, are extraordinary... ['Estoril'
       is] a diverting romp' ? The Sunday Times'Oddly 
       captivating' ? SpectatorBorn in the former Yugoslavia in
