William Boyd's best books...

....from this week's end of year The Week  include Muriel Spark's A Far Cry from Kensington.   "Spark's tone of voice is unique:  terse, dry, clear eyed, darkly humorous.   I prefer her authobiographically based fiction, and this one rivals The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie to be her masterwork."
