A dark, atmospheric tale of loyalty, corruption, and quiet rebellion from master novelist Graham Greene. England Made Me follows Anthony Farrant, a charming drifter who’s burned through jobs and continents with little more than his wit and nerve. When his devoted twin sister Kate lands him a cushy post as bodyguard to her lover—Krogh, a ruthless Swedish financier—Anthony is suddenly thrust into a cold world of power and moral compromise. But when a single act of conscience threatens the empire around him, Anthony sets in motion a chain of betrayal and downfall. Set against a chilling European backdrop, Greene’s novel explores the fragility of decency in a world ruled by ambition.

Editorial Reviews

“Graham Greene’s England Made Me is a masterful exploration of moral ambiguity and human frailty, delivered with his signature taut prose and dark humor.” —The New York Times

“A gripping psychological drama that peels back the veneer of civility to expose the raw, often uncomfortable truths beneath. Greene at his compelling best.” —The Guardian

About the Author

Graham Greene (1904–1991) was one of the 20th century’s most acclaimed novelists. Educated at Berkhamsted and Oxford, he worked as a sub-editor at The Times before gaining recognition with Orient Express (1932). A convert to Catholicism, his faith deeply influenced novels like The Power and the Glory, The Heart of the Matter, and The End of the Affair. Greene traveled extensively—as a war-time intelligence officer and later as a journalist—experiences that shaped works like The Quiet American and Our Man in Havana. He wrote over 25 novels, short stories, travel books, plays, children's literature, and film scripts, including The Third Man. His prolific career earned him the Order of Merit and the Companion of Honour.
