Julian Lawndsley has renounced his high-flying job in the city for a slower, simpler life running a bookshop in a small English seaside town, but only a couple of months into his new career Julian is disrupted by a visitor who seems to know too much . . .
The mesmerizing story of an encounter between innocence and experience, and between public duty and private morals, Silverview is the last complete master work from one of the greatest novelists of our age, and asks what you owe to your country when you no longer recognize it.
“le Carre plays out revelations slowly and teasingly, and, in the end, they’re as damning as you could wish. The real drama, however, is in the present, where all the characters are hopelessly intertwined and compromised by their loves and loyalties, none of them innocent.” -- Kirkus Reviews
