About this title

Review:

Arguably his best book since The Spy Who Came in from the Cold. A masterful portrayal of human weaknesses (Brian Morton in Times Educational Supplement)

Delightfully pointed and hilarious ...a well-crafted tale whose thread is studded with funny and moving episodes, as well as pointed asides (Richard Norton-Taylor in The Guardian)

This is a book with a momentum of its own, a romantic delirium for troubled times...The le Carré of his new book is a tough talker. (Karl Miller in The Observer)

Le Carré is on top form - rich, subtle and powerfully imaginative. (Maxim magazine)

Review:

'Le Carré shows what an extraordinarily witty writer he can be, with a true feeling for the farcical.' (The Sunday Times)

'A masterful portrayal of human weakness.' (The Times Educational Supplement)

'A romantic delirium for troubled times.' (The Observer)
