About this listen
Brought to you by Penguin.
Aldo Cassidy is a cautious man. He has a pleasant family, drives a safe, expensive car and wears luxurious clothes. But his soothing existence is upended when he meets Shamus and Helen - a dazzling, bohemian couple who are everything he is not. As he is drawn into their reckless and unpredictable orbit, all that Cassidy thought he understood about his orderly life begins to unravel.
Told with le Carré's lacerating wit and penetrating observation, The Naive and Sentimental Lover is an acerbic satire of middle-class hypocrisies.
'Splendid ... le Carré shows how endowed he is with the gift of storytelling' The Times
'Le Carré is the equal of any novelist now writing' Guardian
Having started this review I realise I can't bear to think about it any more. I imagine the narrator felt the same, as he splits sentences at random points, which makes this drivel even less intelligible.
As terrible as I remembered
