Description
A stunningly timely spy novel that takes readers from 1960s West Berlin to the Iraq War.
Today, Mundy is a down-at-the-heels tour guide in southern Germany, dodging creditors, supporting a new family, and keeping an eye out for trouble while questioning the actions of the country he once bravely served. And trouble finds him in the shape of an old German student friend and onetime fellow spy, the crippled Sasha, seeker after absolutes, dreamer, and chaos addict.
In Absolute Friends, John le Carre delivers the masterpiece he has been building to since the fall of communism: an epic tale of loyalty and betrayal that spans the lives of two friends from the riot-torn West Berlin of the 1960s to the grimy looking-glass of Cold War Europe to the present day of terrorism and new alliances. This is the novel le Carre fans have been waiting for, a brilliant, ferocious, heartbreaking work for the ages.
