In his seemingly unending quest for women other than his wife, David Cornwell – alias spy novelist John le Carré – took any and every opportunity.He was in Lebanon, scouting for possible locations to film one of his books, when he met Janet Lee Stevens, a young American journalist and human rights advocate, then working with Amnesty International. David admired her passion and her commitment, her courage and her heart.I was told she was known to the Palestinians as 'the little drummer girl' and it is possible (but not certain) he may have named his novel with the same title after her.
