Jacket illustration: Matthew Taylor. keywords: Literature England Espionage. FROM THE PUBLISHER - In his last completed novel, John le CarrE turns his focus to the world that occupied his writing for the past sixty years - the secret world itself. [Le CarrE] was often considered one of the finest novelists, period, since World War II. It's not that he 'transcended the genre,' as the tired saying goes; it's that he elevated the level of play
[Silverview's] sense of moral ambivalence remains exquisitely calibrated. - The New York Times Book Review. Julian Lawndsley has renounced his high-flying job in the city for a simpler life running a bookshop in a small English seaside town. But only a couple of months into his new career, Julian's evening is disrupted by a visitor. Edward, a Polish EmigrE living in Silverview, the big house on the edge of town, seems to know a lot about Julian's family and is rather too interested in the inner workings of his modest new enterprise. When a letter turns up at the door of a spy chief in London warning him of a dangerous leak, the investigations lead him to this quiet town by the sea. Silverview is the mesmerizing story of an encounter between innocence and experience and between public duty and private morals. In his inimitable voice John le CarrE, the greatest chronicler of our age, seeks to answer the question of what we truly owe to the people we love. inventory #47939 ISBN: 9780593490631.
