Summary |
One winter's morning in London, loss adjuster Lorimer Black - handsome, clever, insomniac - goes to keep a routine appointment to assess an insurance claim and finds a hanged man. Not a good start to the day by anyone's standards, but for Lorimer it is the beginning of a time of confusion and betrayal that turns his life upside down. As Lorimer, increasingly stressed and baffled by the actions and deceptions of those around him, battles through, he realises the peace and security he craves - his personal insurance - can only be provided by escape ... Adapted by William Boyd from his best-selling novel, Armadillo is a darkly comic and acute exploration of modern life |
