An instant New York Times bestseller! In his last completed novel, John le Carr� turns his focus to the world that occupied his writing for the past sixty years--the secret world itself.
[Le Carr�] 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 �migr� 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 Carr�, the greatest chronicler of our age, seeks to answer the question of what we truly owe to the people we love.
