In Waiting for Sunrise, William Boyd seems to be trying for intrigue and suspense -- but it never comes off. The characters are neither sympathetic nor menacing, just confused and unconvincing. The plot, rather than unfolding, simply unravels. Boyd alternates the narrative between first and third person, making the story even more disjointed. For a wartime story, the war itself seems oddly remote. The espionage comes across as trivial and amateurish. There are so many great novels and non-fiction books about the Great War; it's a pity to waste time reading this one.
