A ¹ John le Carré's eighteenth novel, The Constant Gardener, in spite of the tragic events at the heart of it. The story is set in Kenya and the plot ² ___ the dark side of globalisation, with its greed and cynicism.

B ³ ___ the brutal murder of the young, beautiful Tessa Quayle, who's married to Justin, a shy British diplomat. Unlike her husband, Tessa is an idealistic heroine and passionate reformer. Before her death, she sends a report to Justin's bosses about a sinister pharmaceutical company. The company is secretly testing a new drug on innocent African villagers, and some of them die. But the report disappears. Justin, the 'constant gardener' of the title, is deeply shocked by his wife's murder and eventually suspects his superiors. ⁴ ___, when they try to stop his investigations, he cleverly escapes, setting off on a personal crusade to find the killers.

C ⁵ ___ about the book, apart from the thrilling action and convincing story, was the vivid descriptions of the places Justin visits in search of answers: from Africa to Italy, to Canada and back. Le Carré also creates a range of entirely believable English characters, from absurd bureaucrats to heartless businessmen. ⁶ ___ of the book is that the author has a tendency to introduce too many new characters and names, so it was occasionally rather confusing.

D All in all, though, ⁷ ___ spy thrillers, you'll love this book. And if you're not, ⁸ ___ it because The Constant Gardener is also a profoundly moving love story, of a man who discovers not only his own strengths, but also the incredible courage of the woman he loves.
