The Constant Gardener

Frightening, heartbreaking and exquisitely calibrated, The Constant Gardener is a profoundly moving story of a man ennobled by his wife's tragic murder, and a magnificent exploration of the dark side of unbridled capitalism. 'Another classic narrative. Nobody writing today manipulates suspense better. Nobody constructs a more tantalisingly complex plot. A powerful, moving novel that stands with le Carre's best. It is, in other words, essential reading' Sunday Telegraph 'Le Carré poses deep spiritual questions about the damage [the human race] has done, and continues to do, both to the planet and to itself. He does so in a page-turner which reminds us that the master storyteller of the Smiley books has lost none of his cunning' Daily Mail 'Richly detailed, full of righteous fire to offset its desperate prognosis, The Constant Gardener is a very impressive piece of work. It is certainly one of John le Carre's best books' The Times Literary Supplement 'This is le Carré with a new twist, the Old Master developing new techniques for a new age . .. What is different in this book, however, is the passion' The Times
