This is a tough book to read. Le Carre keeps switching from first, second, to third person, sometimes on the same page. It is challenging to figure out if the narrator is the author, or Pym as a boy or adult, Magnus, one of the two women, the investigator, etc. Took me 100 pages before I realized that Pym and Magnus were the same person. Also, not a lot of action and the reading is slow. Not a Le Carre fan.
