pickWas I nervous about anyone, even Le Carre‘s son, taking on my favorite fictional spy? Yes. I needn‘t have been. Harkaway captures the heart of the original, while still keeping his own style and cadence. I loved being in his version of the Circus, revisiting old friends, and getting a new, deeper backstory to the cold war that exists specifically between Smiley and Karla.
I kind of love when ebook preorders drop a little early. I should go to sleep, but…Smiley and Karla?!? How am I supposed to resist that?
#WeRemember Day 10: I got this #JohnLeCarre novel during the Sharjah used book festival around two years ago. Here‘s more of my book haul: https://wp.me/pDlzr-lH7
John le Carré, the pseudonym of David John Moore Cornwell (1931-2020) was an English author of espionage novels. Le Carré had resided in St Buryan, Cornwall, Great Britain, for more than 40 years, where he owned a mile of cliff close to Land's End.
Love these covers. #JohnLeCarre #WeRemember @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks
Ah, a spy novel again in this spy series from le Carré.
