      Adjoa Andoh's remarkable skills of characterization and pacing are on full display in this reissue of le Carr's novel of espionage and manipulation in the Middle East. When a nave English actress, Charlie, agrees to work undercover for an Israeli spy to identify a Palestinian terrorist, she is co-opted by morally ambiguous people on both sides. Andoh gives Charlie a light, sweet voice and an unsophisticated tone that emphasize her bravado and innocence. Her handlers adopt different nationalities as needed--Israeli, Palestinian, German, American, British, South African--and Andoh rides the wave of voices perfectly, shifting seamlessly from one nationality to another. Andoh's tempo is also vital. From slow-burn psychological seductions to rapid-fire arguments, she makes the complex multilayered story accessible and provocative throughout.
