### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Never tire of finding another John Le Carre novel.
  

*by G***1 on Reviewed in the United States on September 25, 2024*

Le Carre was a prolific writer, for which I am grateful. Each writing is so masterfully phrased, thrilling, witty, suspenseful. Understand that his wife collaborated on his work to make it even better. Outstanding teamwork. Am in awe of his writing style.

    Predictably Turgid; Nevertheless, Irresistible
  

*by J***Y on Reviewed in the United States on September 21, 2017*

In the midst of my own travails, casting aside the Circus of my life, I take quill in hand, having brushed off the literary dust of 25 years of accumulated, if feigned, indifference, to read John Le Carre's latest work. I will, for you fine watchers, eschew the tradecraft of ciphers, and write, and only for Le Carre, "en clair."Will you forgive the pun? Oh, but you must! For there is much to forgive in this memoir, the first case of such being its title: "A Legacy of Spies."  Said four words possess a colon -- I am reminded of that word's other meaning -- at their tail end to proclaim the work to be "A Novel," in case one is tempted to assume otherwise.For a British spy, apparently, the only things one may assume are VERBS and the occasional redacted comma. That, and paragraphs as thick as a barrister's brief. One may also presuppose the total absence of anything like James Bond-style action. Perish the thought! And then there's the matter of the ending...The story resurrects Peter Gulliam (and you must never call him "Pete") -- disciple of the redoubtable and often doubted, George Smiley -- who is recalled to a dismal safehouse to be held accountable for his myriad indiscretions during the Cold War. The mission is "Windfall," which, one may be aware, resulted  in the operative Alec Leamas being shot down at the Berlin Wall trying to save an innocent female pawn of the Great Game.There follows a middle book filled with reams of reams of field reports and meeting minutes from both the Crown and the Stasi, wherein all the characters of the past reside in their ghostly glory.  The documents that exist, and there are many which do not, pin the blame for the "failure" of Windfall squarely on Peter, whose primary defense of all is silence, and an unspoken question: where is George?And yes, I forgive all. How could I not?  I've grown up with the man, and I've shelled out 11.05-pound sterling for the privilege.  And you will, too. The lure is too great, and, admit it, you'll never forgive yourself if you don't!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Excellent
  

*by E***C on Reviewed in the United States on September 18, 2024*

I know it wasn't his last, but this feels more like le Carré saying goodbye than Peter or George. George is ever present but barely here, and in his stead we get the confusion, confidence and emotions of the always somewhat hapless Peter. Nonetheless, it's quite amazing what he did with such an old story in this book. He turned it literally inside out and in the process showed how brilliant and dark the Cold War was for everyone, especially all of those poor Joes.
