En esta ocasión Le Carré deja atrás el ambiente del "Ciro" para enfrentarse con uno de los conflictos más complicados, ambiguos y dolorosos de la actualidad mundial, la sangrienta lucha que opone a palestinos e israelitas. La protagonista de la noela, Charlie, de quien ni siquiera conocemos el apellido, es una joen actriz inglesa de ideas izquierdistas que se ve envuelta en una tupida red de intrigas, peligros y coacciones que va a llevarla hasta el corazón mismo de la gran tragedia que tiene por escenario el mundo entero.
Mr. le Carré's novel is certainly the most mature, inventive and powerful book about terrorists-come-to-life this reader has experienced. It transcends the genre by reason of the will and the interests of the author. The story line interests him but does not dominate him. He is interested in writing interestingly about things interesting and not interesting. Terrorism and counterterrorism, intelligence work and espionage are, then, merely the vehicle for a book about love, anomie, cruelty, determination and love of country. ''The Little Drummer Girl'' is about spies as ''Madame Bovary'' is about adultery or ''Crime and Punishment'' about crime. Mr. le Carré easily establishes that he is not beholden to the form he elects to use. This book will permanently raise him out of the espionage league, narrowly viewed. The conversion of Charlie into the goat tethered to catch the lion (Kurtz’s phrase) is a remarkable piece of writing. It takes a long time to get the goat tethered, and some of the Kurtz-Litvak activities seem drawn out or unlikely, in particular a passage of knockabout comedy with Charlie’s agent. Yet when the operation begins, and Charlie moves deeper and deeper into the Palestine terrorist movement, one sees that the preparations were necessary to our full belief and understanding. The balance between the two violent idealisms is finely kept, and there is a glimpse or anticipation of ‘the ultimate recourse’, the brutal invasion of Lebanon that actually took place. Among a large cast of convincing minor characters the German terrorist Helga and the foxy political middleman Dr Alexis are particularly good.
