The Pigeon Tunnel: Stories from My Life by John le Carré
4.0
I understand why he has so many well loved novels and novels aspired to film. His writing drew me into the stories he wished to share.
This book is a difficult read in parts, as he himself acknowledges, because I did not recognize the people he was referencing. His insights and questioning attitude about how Germany and Russia rebuilt themselves after WWII has less me to add his books to my TBR.
His dedication to research is remarkable. This has lead me to believe that his books will hopefully not be white washed as much as others tend to be. If only all of us could say the same of our own opinions of other people's today.
