This novel underlines the theme of loyalty, to one's class, to one's country, to one's ideals and to the truth. Catherine Hillary is commissioned to write the biography of a dead politician and in the process she gains a perspective on her own life, but at some cost. Iasabel Colegate is author of "The Shooting Party". "Deceits of Time" will be one of Hamish Hamilton's submissions for the Booker Prize.
