Now a major motion picture from Fernando Meirelles, the Academy Award-nominated director of City of God
The Constant Gardener is a magnificent exploration of the new world order by one of the most compelling and elegant storytellers of our time. The novel opens in northern Kenya with the gruesome murder of Tessa Quayle--young, beautiful, and dearly beloved to husband Justin. When Justin sets out on a personal odyssey to uncover the mystery of her death, what he finds could make him not only a suspect among his own colleagues, but a target for Tessa's killers as well.
A master chronicler of the betrayals of ordinary people caught in political conflict, John le Carre portrays the dark side of unbridled capitalism as only he can. In The Constant Gardener he tells a compelling, complex story of a man elevated through tragedy as Justin Quayle--amateur gardener, aging widower, and ineffectual bureaucrat--discovers his own natural resources, and the extraordinary courage of the woman he barely had time to love.
读不下去, 节奏太慢, 又对政治斗争阴谋类的情节不感兴趣, 中途结束了.
评分圣诞节如果被工作所累出不了远门就打算把这个看一看。师妹淘学校跳蚤市场入了一本送给我。非小说类读物(论文除外)一概不看。
评分在book club结束N周后终于读完了...惭愧
评分真的是没有高潮的结尾额......
