Publisher's Synopsis
John Le Carré led a life entirely constructed of secrets - not just in his first career, as a British spy and agent runner during the height of the Cold War or in his second, as a world-renowned writer of espionage fiction, but also in his personal involvements. He guarded his private life with fierce determination, fending off all would-be biographers until his ninth decade, when he finally relented and permitted his life story to be written. But there was still one element that he insisted be excluded, even then: the women. Despite being married for virtually all of his adult life, Le Carré had a number of secret affairs. Of all his undisclosed loves, Suleika Dawson was the only one who was ever truly his 'secret sharer', the only one he ever let that far in. 'The Secret Heart' is the account of Dawson's enduring love affair with him.
