Título: The Constant Gardener
Autor: John Le Carré
"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."
