The Book of Lodge is a richly layered historical and psychological novel tracing the life of Stephen Lodge, a boy from post-war Kent whose journey through the Royal Navy becomes a lens through which British decline, personal duty, and moral ambiguity are explored. Spanning from the 1950s to the mid-1970s, the novel combines intimate coming-of-age storytelling with international drama, as Lodge grows from a vulnerable cadet into a decorated officer and covert operative for a shadowy Ministry of Defence unit.
Told with lyricism, discipline, and striking emotional depth, the novel captures both the institutional weight of military service and the private cost of justice, vengeance, and love. At its heart, The Book of Lodge is about the quiet heroism of staying true to one's conscience in a world that rewards silence and conformity.
Blending elements of Atonement and Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, this is a commanding portrait of a man who sees too much and remembers everything.
