Description

Aldo Cassidy is the naive and sentimental lover. A successful, judicious man, he is wrenched away from the ordered certainties of his life by a sudden encounter with Shamus, a wild, carousing artist and Helen, his nakedly alluring wife. Cassidy, plunged into a whirlpool of recklessness and spontaneity, becomes a man bewildered and agonised as he is torn between two poles of a nature more complex than he had ever imagined.

Reviews

'Splendid, original ... le Carre shows how endowed he is with the gift of storytelling' -- The Times 'Comic and touching ... this novel is brilliant and marvellously good reading' -- Book World 'Sad, funny, captivating and stunningly fertile' -- Sunday Express
