Title: Moral Dilemma
Product review: How do you respond to an unjust war being fought for a just cause? This is the moral challenge Le Carre throws to his readers in this novel. Like his naive heroine, we must make up our minds about whether our loyalties should be to the Palestinian people living under Israeli oppression or to the Western authorities who are trying to save innocent people from being killed by Palestinian terrorists. The power of le Carre's characterization does not allow us to make this choice easily or to be satisfied completely once the choice has been made. Just like the real world, the novel allows for no black-and-white decision, no ideal third way out. The honesty of the author makes this wonderful thriller also a true work of literature. A must read for our times.
