The Secret Heart

Suleika Dawson

A Telegraph Book to Read for Autumn 2022A Times Best Non-fiction Book for Autumn 2022A Daily Mail Book of the Year 2022A Waterstones Best Book of 2022: Biography
The astonishing new portrait of the master of spy fiction, by the woman he kept secret for almost half his life
John le Carré led a life entirely constructed of secrets. First as a British ‘spook’ during the Cold War, then as a world-renowned writer of espionage fiction, but also in his personal involvements. He guarded his private life with fierce determination, so that even when he finally permitted his life story to be written, there was still one element he insisted be excluded: the women.
Married with children for virtually all his adult life, le Carré – David Cornwell – had a number of secret affairs, usually conducted abroad with women encountered by chance on his travels. These relationships were always intense, dramatic, even tragic, yet each was destined to last no more than a few months. But there was one love affair that withstood the test of time; just one woman in all his life whom he took into the innermost sanctum of his writing and his heart.
The Secret Heart is the account of Suleika Dawson’s unique and enduring love affair with John le Carré. Written with fearless honesty and insight, the book sheds a bold new light on one of the foremost British writers of the 20th century and offers an alternative measure of the man over the literary legend.
Suleika Dawson's The Secret Heart is a riveting exploration of the hidden facets of a celebrated author's life, revealing a tale of enduring love that was as captivating as his award-winning crime narratives. This top-rated autobiography, a prize-winning entry among this year's collections, is a testament to the power of love and the allure of secrecy.
For fans of Robert D. Kaplan (In Europe's Shadow), Oliver Soden (Jeoffry), Anne Glenconner (Whatever Next?), David Fleming (Hellfire), and Thomas Harding (Legacy).

Unsolved Mysteries - Uncovering...

John Harpoon

This book consists of two titles: 
- The Kraken: The Kraken, a legendary sea monster whose name evokes images of terror and fascination, has captivated the imaginations of people for centuries. First emerging from the shadows of Scandinavian folklore, this giant creature—often described as a massive octopus or squid—has become one of the most iconic symbols of the unknown depths of the ocean. The allure of the Kraken lies in its mysterious nature, its ability to stir both fear and wonder, and the enduring question: is it merely a myth, or could there be some truth behind the legend? 
- The World's Youngest Criminal Genius: In the annals of crime, there are few figures as captivating or as puzzling as Michael McCrudden, often dubbed "The World's Youngest Criminal Genius." This title, given by the media and sensationalized through various reports, paints a picture of a brilliant, almost calculating young mind who orchestrated elaborate criminal schemes before reaching adulthood. But who was Michael McCrudden really, and what drove him to the heights of criminality at such a tender age? The concept of a "criminal genius" is fraught with paradoxes. On one hand, it invokes admiration for the ingenuity behind complex scams and heists, while on the other, it raises questions about morality, ethics, and the law. McCrudden’s story is one of talent gone awry, where a sharp intellect that could have achieved greatness in legitimate fields was instead channeled into subversive and illegal activities. His life forces us to grapple with uncomfortable truths about how society sometimes rewards intelligence in the wrong contexts.
