He asks himself: Did it do any good? What did it do to me? And what will happen to us now? In this final Smiley novel, the great spy gives his own humane and unexpected answers.If you enjoyed The Secret Pilgrim, you might like le Carr ‘s The Spy Who Came In From the Cold, also available in Penguin Modern Classics.’Consummate and enthralling’Observer
