The series deserves four stars - Charity is not the best book but it doesn't let the others down. The overriding thought I had with this book is "Whew, finally finished." It's taken me five years to read the nine main books of the Bernard Samson series (I haven't read the prequel novel, Winter, yet), and I think it could have safely stopped at six (the first two trilogies). Granted, this last novel does tie up a few more of the remaining loose ends, and I do enjoy following Bernard around on his adventures, but this was not my favourite of the saga by any means. Recommended primarily for the completist. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Bernard Samson returns to Berlin in the final novel in the classic spy trilogy, FAITH, HOPE and CHARITY Bernard continues to chip away at the mystery of his sister-in-law Tessa Kosinski#65533;#65533;e#65533;(tm)s death in Berlin on the crucial night when his wife Fiona was brought out of the East. Fighting to uncover the truth, he must also confront the key relationships in his own life: Fiona is still far from stable now that she has returned to work, and their children remain in the clutches of his wealthy and manipulative father-in-law. Meanwhile, Werner Volkmann, Bernard#65533;#65533;e#65533;(tm)s friend since childhood, is reluctant to get involved in Bernard#65533;#65533;e#65533;(tm)s crusade. A wonderful depiction both of covert operations and office politics, Charity is packed with action, incident and intrigue, bringing to a triumphant conclusion a series of ten novels that represents one of the great acheivements of modern English fiction. This new reissue includes a foreword from the cover designer, Oscar-winning filmmaker Arnold Schwartzman, and a brand new introduction by Len Deighton, which offers a fascinating insight into the writing of the story.
