The hero of Graham Greene's black comedy Our Man in Havana is Wormald, a vacuum-cleaner salesman in pre-revolutionary Cuba, which is beset by power cuts. Milly, his sixteen year-old beautiful, devoutly Catholic but materialistic and manipulative daughter spends his money with a skill that amazes him, so when a mysterious Englishman offers him an extra income he's tempted. In return all he has to do is carry out a little espionage and file a few reports. But when his fake reports start coming true, things suddenly get more complicated and Havana becomes a threatening place.

Designed to appeal to the booklover, the Macmillan Collector's Library is a series of beautifully bound gift editions of much loved classic titles.

“A good read!”

A funny, lighthearted read that didn’t take too long to complete. It’s a comical twist on the stereotypes we typically associate with espionage thrillers.

“Entertaining.”

It is the storey of a single father trying to do his best for his growing teenage daughter. It is satirical, fabulously entertaining and enthralling. It is a must read book.
