Paul Pickering’s new anti-war novel Lucy is about obedience and rebellion, how one survivor in the actual and moral wasteland of immediate post-war Berlin takes over the lives of three others, psychologically and sexually, in the way Hitler took over a country. The worldwide protests surrounding the 2024 conflict in Gaza mirror the rebel spirit at the heart of Pickering’s important, groundbreaking novel. Set partly in a German kibbutz, started by Nazis to remove Jews, there is a clash between utopian ideas and the toxic nationalism necessary to found the state of Israel. Operation Lucy, once an idealistic, anti-Nazi espionage ring, of which all the main characters are part, has become a self-devouring monster. Lucy is darkly comic, showing how best intentions, when they pass through the looking-glass of human failings, change to the opposite. Joseph Heller’s “Catch-22” means no escape because of contradictory rules, “Lucy” is the Lucifer paradox, where the only good is bad, and only bad is good. A thrilling, disturbing and utterly compelling read from one of the UK’s most celebrated authors.
Lucy, a pampered young Golden Retriever, is stolen by ruthless smugglers from her home in rural England and taken to a grim London kennel. A bold escape with her fellow canine inmates--a weepy but learned Spaniel, two stalwart Dobermans, a vain Afghan, and an ingenious Yorkshire Terrier, takes the friends through the unimagined perils of London. Whether it is something as simple as crossing busy streets or having to unearth long-dormant bravery to escape from a vicious gang of rats in the pitch-black London Underground, the often terrified friends must at all costs avoid recapture and certain return to their grim prison. Only by working as a cohesive team, can the dogs stay safe and find their way home.
