Europe in Autumn

This slightly supernatural spy novel features an amusingly reluctant chef-turned-smuggler who has adventures throughout a fractured Europe. I enjoyed the personality of the main character, but was less engaged by the episodic nature of the story and the bleak near-future world. I also began to feel more indifferent as the novel shifted away from the protagonist in the latter part of the book, focusing instead of fictional documents and minor characters. This was not a book for me, in the end, but I can see how it could have caught others' imaginations.
