En 'Sweet Caress', William Boyd nos presenta la vida de Amory Clay, una mujer que desde temprana edad se niega a ser definida por otros. A través de su lente fotográfica, Amory registra su propia versión de los eventos, moviéndose entre Londres y Nueva York, el fotoperiodismo y la fotografía de moda. Su búsqueda de experiencias la lleva al Berlín decadente de Weimar, a la violencia de los disturbios de los Camisas Negras en Londres, a Renania con las tropas aliadas y al conflicto de Vietnam. Los momentos cruciales del siglo XX se entrelazan con su biografía, capturados tanto en su voz como en su visión.
William Andrew Murray Boyd is a British novelist, short story writer screenwriter and film director. He is best known for his novels, which include A Good Man in Africa (1981), Any Human Heart (2002), and Restless (2006), many of which have received critical acclaim and literary awards. Boyd has also written screenplays for film and television, including Chaplin (1992), and directed the World War I drama The Trench (1999). His work is characterised by its narrative vitality and range, earning him numerous accolades including the Whitbread First Novel Award, the James Tait Black Memorial Prize, and the Costa Book Award. A number of his works are what he describes as "whole-life" novels which follow a protagonist through the highs and lows of a varied and often remarkable life. He regularly fuses fact with fiction and his lead characters encounter well-known historical figures. He was appointed Commander of the Order of the British Empire in 2005 for services to literature. John Self, writing for The Booker Prizes, described Boyd’s work as “vigorous, entertaining novels” produced by an “exceptionally fertile imagination,” and praised his fiction as “fully committed to his stories and characters.”
