The Honorary Consul
Graham Greene, 1973
A kidnapping gone wrong in a dusty Argentine river town, and the odd, decent, badly married men caught up in it.
Graham Greene
Greene worked for MI6 during the Second World War, posted to Sierra Leone — the seed of The Heart of the Matter and of his lifelong fascination with compromised men on remote frontiers.
Feels like faith, love and power.
What the smell of an unnamed plant can do to a grown man.
It was an evening which, by some mysterious combination of failing light and the smell of an unrecognised plant, brings back to some men the sense of childhood and of future hope and to others the sense of something which has been lost and almost forgotten. Books by Graham Greene
