    Breaking Point
  

*by S***B on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 16 October 2022*

The protagonist of Graham Swift’s ‘Shuttlecock’ is a middle-aged man named Prentis who is employed in the archives department of the police. He is diligent with his work on the secret cases to which he is assigned, but suffers from what he feels is the overly intense scrutiny of his boss, Quinn, whose behaviour he finds both intimidating and confusing.  Life at home is not all that he would like it to be either: his relationship with his (long-suffering) wife, on whom he takes out his frustration with his work, leaves something to be desired and he is at a loss about how to deal with his two sons - whose behaviour he cannot understand. And then there is his relationship with his father, who is in a residential home suffering with dementia, and whose autobiography of his experiences during WWII  is a book which  Prentis reads and re-reads and which leaves him with feelings of both admiration and confusion. Did his father really undergo the terrible experiences he described or is he hiding something? And what about Quinn, his boss, and the strange questions he is beginning to ask Prentis? Is Quinn trying to entrap him or help him? And then Prentis feels he is being spied upon - one of the spies being one of his own sons. Is Prentis suffering from acute paranoia or is there something else going on that neither he nor the reader can quite work out?Although I have to admit that initially I didn’t warm to Prentis (especially when I read of him having deliberately killed his hamster as a child and of him being physically violent towards his wife) I found myself becoming interested in what had happened to him in his past and what had led him to being the man he had become; I was also very interested in Prentis’s boss, Quinn, whose attitude towards Prentis I initially found as confusing as Prentis did himself. Admittedly there were parts to this novel that I found uncomfortable to read - especially some of Prentis's behaviour towards his wife and sons (which made this a four star rather than a five star read for me) - but I was drawn into this psychological thriller from the very first pages and was involved in the the story from the beginning to the end.4 Stars.

Swift at his best, highly recommended.

### ⭐⭐⭐ 3.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Not his best
  

*by C***4 on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 24 June 2024*

Somewhat meandering, and not as concise as his best books.  Oddly, the present day domestic drama works a lot better than the historical spy/war stuff.
