Title: Echo of Reality
Review: Easy to read and very well written story with echoes of the botched Thatcher "survival" episode in which some of the participants ended up in the same undesirable jail/prison situation as some of the book characters. Bruno Salavador has a clever sense of humor and believes in both black...and white magic! His linguistic intelligence is a tribute to the success of mixed-race persons and gives additional credence to heterosis/hybrid vigor and the unfairness of racial prejudice. Salvo is subjected to the name calling of being a 'zebra' which is nicer word than half-breed or, in Thai language, 'look krueng' = half-child. Thanks to John LeCarre' for another good book!
