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.
