About The Constant Gardener
Unlike many of le Carré’s novels, The Constant Gardener is not set in the tense atmosphere of the Cold War, but rather deals with complex contemporary issues. It opens with the murder of the activist Tessa Quayle, who has been conducting investigations into the shady dealings a pharmaceutical company in Kenya. It is left up to her grieving husband Justin to pick up her investigation and uncover the endemic corruption in the country, which is abetted and encouraged by Western companies and governments.
Like a number of le Carré’s works, The Constant Gardener has been adapted for the cinema. The film adaptation was released in 2005 to critical acclaim, garnering four Academy Award nominations, including one win.
