Britt by Alan Hardy is a fast paced spy thriller set in France during World War I.It's funny to me to see a British author telling about stories set in France, but Mr Hardy masters it brilliantly.The story is about a couple, Britt and Wriggles, two childhood "friends" bonded forever by a sort of sentimental feeling. Britt suffers from a form of schizophrenia that makes things even more twisted along the plot flows.Britt and Wriggles are involved into a complicated, sometimes funny attempt of stopping a German spy acting in their territory. Among suspense scenes and a bit of mystery, Britt and Wriggles will start a kind of love story that will merge with their childhood heritage.It's fascinating to see how adults could turn into kids again while overwhelmed by memories and aspects/elements belonging to their own past and love.I cannot tell you if Britt is more a crime/spy novel or a romance suspense story, but it doesn't matter at the very end. Britt is an enjoyable novel which I highly recommend to any avid readers looking for a entertaining story with a hint of comedy inside and a sparkle of romance. The ability of Mr Hardy as a storyteller makes the rest.
