A review by andrew61
The Honorary Consul by Graham Greene

4.0

Greene is so good at characters , dialogue and embarrassment . I enjoyed the poignancy of fortnum the honorary consul who is mistakenly kidnapped by Patagonian freedom fighters but who is in love with his ex prostitute wife who is having an affair with his friend who is in league with the kidnappers . Add in an ex catholic priest as kidnapper and the stage is set for a wonderfully crafted novel.
