His second book and more of a murder mystery than a spy thriller, although Smiley remains the central character. There is an afterword written recently by Le Carre which is eviscerating about the english education system and the divisive nature that causes so much damage to society. He said it far more eloquently than I could ever manage, but the dilutes the force of his argument by admitting that he did, of course, send his own children to private school. William had a lovely 8th birthday in the end, although his part is still to come next weekend. Libby has SATS this week and so many of her friends and parents are freaking out with the pressure, another sign of our broken education system
