"The Naïve & Sentimental Lover" by author, John Le Carré takes a different path to his well-trodden espionage and spy novels. This book falls more squarely into the romance & drama genre.
The main character, Aldo Cassidy is a cautious man who likes the luxuries in life. 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 Cassidy's 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.
