Thoughts on Day of Honey

Memoirs are not normally my thing but this one - wow!  It's not out until next year (February) but it is a great read and so topical right now - even as I'm writing this the cauldron of middle east politics is still threatening to boil over.  Good books inspire emotions, and this one did (mostly anger at two countries who really should have learned about persecution and a certain US politician's comments about witnessing the 'birth pangs' of a new middle east have a whole new meaning when shells are flying past your kitchen window) but it also inspired something else, suspense.  In war we lose people, some we know, some we love but loss is generous, likes to make sure we all get some.  Now from real life to spy life, "Our Kind of Traitor" Le Carre's new one.
