Le Carre's APerfect Spy. Daniel believed that his parents were enjoying a peace
ful retirement on a remote farm in Sweden, the country of his mother's birth. Bu
t with a single phone call, everything changes.
Your mother...she's not well,
his father tells him. She's been imagining things - terrible, terrible things.I
n fact, she has been committed to a mental hospital. Before Daniel can board a p
lane to Sweden, his mother calls: Everything that man has told you is a lie.
