Waiting for Sunrise has the pace of a spy thriller, with code-cracking and double-crossing aplenty.” (The New Yorker) “Sex, psychiatry and Vienna on the eve of World War I - those are promising ingredients for a novel. And William Boyd makes the most of them Boyd’s narrative moves briskly, and his local color is deftly done.”. Waiting for Sunrise is a thriller, with all manner of suspicious occurrences and characters, with Lysander never sure whom or what to trust or believe; few tell him the whole truth, and many tell him outright lies -- but he gets caught up in this game as well. Figures also constantly cross his path yet again -- both Lysander's Viennese therapist and Hettie show up in England, for example -- and often as not Lysander (and the reader) are led to believe. In Waiting for Sunrise, William Boyd has come up with it. At least it begins in Vienna, before becoming very British, just as it is part psychological teaser and part spy novel.
