This is nonsense (subject of the novel)

Someone who looks this novel up on Wikipedia, perhaps curious as to what it is about, is met with this sentence in the lede: “The novel is set in 2018 and depicts the relationship between Nat (né Anatoly), a 47-year-old member of the British Secret Intelligence Service (MI6), and his daughter.”

The novel is indeed set in 2018 and the relationship between the protagonist and his daughter is indeed depicted in it. However, if asked what the book is about, nobody who has read it is going to say “oh it’s about this British spy, Nat, and his relationship with his daughter.”

The main character’s relationship with his daughter (and his wife, his boss and one of his colleagues) all play a role in the novel but that’s not what the book is about and it is seriously misleading to suggest that it is. User2346 (talk) 08:48, 16 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
