A Perfect Spy by John Le Carre - narrated by Shaun Evans - a Dreamscape production published 04 June 2024
I so, so wished that Le Carre had chosen a shorter format for this story, which would then have been perfect for me. As it was, the length was off- putting and it was only because of his good writing and the excellent narration by Shaun Evans that kept me at it.
The trails and tribulations of Magnus Pym were varied, and many but they had a single source, his father, beloved and hated at the same time. This entangled relationship and the resultant effect on the moulding of his character led Pym's choices throughout his life. His chameleon character, his need to please and be liked, his guilt. The final scene with the towels is so, so emblematic, and it is a picture I have fixed in my mind.
