Summary
John le Carre: Silverview
Silvereau is a fascinating story about the meeting of innocence and experience and about the conflict between public duty and private morality. In his latest masterpiece, John le Carré questions whether you owe your country something when you can no longer recognize it.
Julian Lonsley gave up his lucrative job at the London Stock Exchange and opted for a simpler life, as the owner of a bookstore in a small seaside town in England. A few months later, Edward, a Polish emigrant, very interested in Julian's new career, who claims to have been a good friend of his father, enters the bookstore.
And when the head of the intelligence service receives a letter mentioning a possible leak of information, the investigation leads him to that quiet seaside town. A tense game of cat and mouse begins.
