A DELICATE TRUTH is not only an example of John LeCarre's best writing, as read by him, it is one of the best audio book presentations I have ever heard. The nuance of his writing is captured by his voice, in case a reader might missing the inflections on the page. The the multi-leveled characterizations, reflecting the history of all parts of Great Britain in the midst of global politics, where corporations have been encroaching on whatever worthy traits of governments and their representatives have developed over the years, makes our sense of loss more palpable than it ever would be were the events of this book delivered by the news media. Ultimately, it is a love story, one that brings people together who share a love of country and the possibility of honor as circumstances throw them into crisis. A brilliant novel!
