Read 2 times. Last read June 21, 2024.

A classic spy novel set during the Cold War which makes a terrific read and which is a symbol of spy wars. This audiobook, read by Simon Vance, brings back the characters whose names have been known to Le Carre's fans for fifty years. I enjoyed the time spent with Smiley and other players although I have read this book at least three times. The anticipation and war of nerves were still present!
Many thanks to John Le Carre, Dreamscape Media, and NetGalley for a free audiobook in exchnage for my honest review.*

Thank you, Barbara :)) The film is good but the book much, much better! :) Simon Vance does a good job, and so does Toby Jones :)

Kathleen Hmm--if you have read this one 'at least' three times, I know I would enjoy rereading it myself. :)
