In store now! Silverview by John LeCarre
The final novel from the master of the spy thriller! Author of Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, and The Honourable Schoolboy, Silverview tells the story of Julian Lawndsley, who has just left his high-profile job in the city to run a small bookshop in the countryside. But only a few months into his new, idyllic life, a strange visitor comes to visit him. A visitor who happens to know a lot about Julian’s life, and his former line of work… Told with economy and grace, Le Carre’s final novel Silverview is a beautiful meditation on aging, slowing down, and never giving up, as well as tackling Le Carre’s trademark thematic interests. The final work by a master who remained at the top of his game for well over forty years.

Silverview by John LeCarre
Hardback £20
Julian Lawndsley has renounced his high-flying job in the City for a simpler life running a bookshop in a small English seaside town. But only a couple of months into his new career, Julian's evening is disrupted by a visitor. Edward, a Polish émigré living in Silverview, the big house on the edge of town, seems to know a lot about Julian's family and is rather too interested in the inner workings of his modest new enterprise.

We are back open six days a week, with the whole store open for browsing. We will still of course be taking customer orders and you will still be able to buy food and cleaning products online through our online store.
We are able to be open 6 days a week again because of your consideration and care whilst in the shop. Though things are opening up, covid cases are still high and a lot of our staff have only received one jab. So we are asking customers to continue to leave that extra space, sanitise their hands and pull on their mask. We really appreciate it.
