Charlie is a promiscuous, unsuccessful, left-wing English actress in her twenties, searching for commitment. We meet her first with a group of acting kids, taking a holiday on the Greek island of Mykonos. Kurtz is an officer of Israeli intelligence, whose job is to stop the bombing of Jews in Europe. The Little Drummer Girl is a thrilling, deeply moving and courageous novel of our times.
