<div>Toby Litt is one of that rare breed of fiction writers who never writes the sam twice: every time out, he takes an unexpected new tack&#8212;and his readers happily follow.<br><br> ?Told in the form of the pithy, even lyrical advice a young soldier leaves behind after a mission gone wrong, <i>Notes for a Young Gentleman</i> is no exception. Its brilliantly creative form, and the epigrammatic genius Litt displays in its creation, nonetheless can&#8217;t hide the powerful, emotional story at its heart: of a young soldier parachuting toward a beautiful, moonlit country house on a mission . . . of betrayal. The house? Marlborough. The target? Winston Churchill, an old friend of his father. A brilliant, at times dizzying but always heartfelt exploration of love, revenge, and the essence of a gentleman, <i>Notes for a Young Gentleman </i>is classic Toby Litt: wholly new and wholly unforgettable.</div>
