A Telegraph Book to Read for Autumn 2022 A Times Best Non-fiction
Book for Autumn 2022 A Daily Mail Book of the Year 2022 A
Waterstones Best Book of 2022: Biography The astonishing new
portrait of the master of spy fiction, by the woman he kept secret
for almost half his life John le Carré led a life entirely
constructed of secrets. First as a British ‘spook’ during the
Cold War, then as a world-renowned writer of espionage fiction, but
also in his personal involvements. He guarded his private life with
fierce determination, so that even when he finally permitted his
life story to be written, there was still one element he insisted
be excluded: the women. Married with children for virtually all his
adult life, le Carré – David Cornwell – had a number of secret
affairs, usually conducted abroad with women encountered by chance
on his travels. These relationships were always intense, dramatic,
even tragic, yet each was destined to last no more than a few
months. But there was one love affair that withstood the test of
time; just one woman in all his life whom he took into the
innermost sanctum of his writing and his heart. The Secret Heart is
the account of Suleika Dawson’s unique and enduring love affair
with John le Carré. Written with fearless honesty and insight, the
book sheds a bold new light on one of the foremost British writers
of the 20th century and offers an alternative measure of the man
over the literary legend.
