In this episode we look at John le Carré’s 1999 novel, SIngle and Single.

Joining me to discuss the book is espionage and nonfiction author Adam Brookes.

We discuss Adam’s first encounters with le Carré, the British boarding school system and tropes seen in le Carré’s female characters? Plus, whether the first chapter of the book makes the book worth reading?

All that and more in this episode.
