The Captain And the Enemy

**The Captain And the Enemy - Preloved Paperback**

Graham Greene's final novel is a bittersweet coming-of-age tale that'll hit you right in the feels. Young Victor gets "won" in a backgammon game by the mysterious Captain, whisked away from boarding school to live with Liza in a cramped London flat. What follows is a decades-spanning story of makeshift families, identity, and the slippery nature of truth.

This isn't your typical literary fiction - Greene serves up adventure, romance, and political intrigue with his trademark wit. Perfect for readers who loved *The Catcher in the Rye* or anyone fascinated by unconventional father figures and morally ambiguous characters. Greene, master of the thriller and psychological drama, delivers his swan song with characteristic brilliance.

This well-loved copy from Patina Paperbacks shows Greene at his most accessible yet profound.
