Trio by William Boyd is a compelling novel set in the summer of 1968 during the height of the cultural upheavals, including the assassinations of Martin Luther King and Robert Kennedy. It follows three characters— a producer, a novelist, and an actress— involved in the making of a British film in Brighton. As the movie progresses, so does the unraveling of their personal lives, each of them hiding secrets and facing mounting pressures. Boyd crafts a story about the complexities of life, love, and the existential questions that arise when everything begins to fall apart. A tender exploration of what makes life worth living, Trio is an evocative portrait of the human experience set against the backdrop of a rapidly changing world.
