"It would be hard to think of a living novelist whose books encompass more history, more settings, more professions, more varieties of individual fate, than William Boyd." --The New York Times Book Review

"A meticulously crafted tale. . . . Richly imagined, thick with physical and emotional detail, and deeply satisfying. . . . When we finally fade to black, the audience regrets only that the show wasn't longer." --The Wall Street Journal

"The most accomplished novel I have read in a long while. . . . Superbly wry and wise and funny and truthful." --Edward Docx, The Guardian

"An elating read." --The Sunday Times (London)

"Boyd's prose is as fluent as ever, but it's the ideas pulsing beneath the surface of the story that distinguish Trio. . . . Affecting as a subtle exploration of the relationship between individuals and history and as a depiction of characters who are searching for the things that make life worth living, whether they find them in film, literature or elsewhere." --Financial Times

"Great fun for readers keen to flee today's soul-crushing social and political turmoil for the seemingly more innocent--and in this case madcap--cultural ferment of the late 1960s." --The Washington Post

"Boyd is an exquisite stylist, and his tragicomic novel is a sublime escape." --Publishers Weekly

"One of our best contemporary storytellers. . . . Trio embraces comedy, tragedy and redemption." --The Spectator

"Boyd winks at the idiosyncrasies and vulgarities specific to each character's métier, and at the precarious process of artistic creation--its joy, torment, stasis, and upheaval." --The New Yorker

"A lavishly plotted page-turner that oozes '60s cool." --Metro

"For all the twists, the real delight is in William Boyd's wry portrait of a bygone age, an evolving era in terms of drugs and sexual rights. . . . Boyd's usual sure touch is evident throughout this tender, gently comic work." --The Independent

"[A] well-tuned novel with plenty of perfectly-paced drama, wit, and intriguing plot twists that accompany its more serious themes about privacy, secrecy, and Camus's one fundamental philosophical question from which all questions follow." --The Brooklyn Rail

"Immensely readable, its descriptions full of light and colour, its humour spot on, its mood a perfect mix of frolicsome and melancholy." --The Sunday Telegraph

"Boyd . . . beautifully captures the chaos and exhilaration of a shambolic film set, in which unforeseen disasters and skullduggery create their own opportunities and problems." --The Observer

"Boyd has written comic novels, thrillers, thoughtful character studies and fiction that ponders the twentieth century's great turning points. Now, with Trio, he combines all the above into a feast of storytelling crammed with delicious plots and subplots. . . . Like the old pro he is, Boyd handles it with total aplomb." --Reader's Digest

"Boyd's sublime gift for characterisation is given full flow in this pacy, utter treat of a novel." --The Telegraph

"By turns raucous, charming and eccentric." --GQ (UK)

"Boyd evokes the porn, prescription drugs and private investigators of the age with grace, an ingenious structure and characters who surprise us almost as much as they surprise themselves." --The Mail on Sunday

"Boyd is a modern master, whether working on canvases large or small." --Booklist (starred review)
