A review by warrenl
Smiley's People by John le Carré
5.0
For my money, this is the best of the so-called Karla trilogy. Tight plotting, tension, extraordinarily well-depicted characters, superlative writing, and at the very end... Karla, Smiley's mythical, remote, ruthless nemesis, suddenly exposed, frail and very human.
A masterpiece in all senses of the word.
