She was a young, single Oxford literature graduate; he was a world-renowned writer twice her age and married for the second time. They met and fell madly in love. What could possibly go wrong? David Cornwell, the former British 'spook' who became the bestselling espionage novelist John le Carre, led a life entirely constructed of secrets. As his hidden mistress, Suleika Dawson was one of them. 'The secret heart' is the intimate and revealing account of her tumultuous yet enduring love affair with one of the most important writers of the twentieth century; a multi-layered and intriguing story of a troubled author seeking to understand himself through the power of his finest writing, while his young 'muse' tries to understand him through the overwhelming force of their love.
