@relentless-red said🙂 It's not the law - it's fiction with the legal situation within EU as background. She focuses on some of the people who don't belong anywhere, many of them paperless and very poor, and the huge gap between those who have and those who have nothing. And what might happen if you don't follow the rules and there is nobody to help you.
Probably somebody who fell foul of international law and resented her book ever since. What's got you reading the law??
@torunn saidDo you recommend it?

I've got Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy waiting to be read after you recommended it ages ago. I decided to read: Call for the Dead; A Murder of Quality; The Spy Who Came in from the Cold and The Looking Glass War first which I know you suggested skipping, but they were okay and nice to see how his books developed. Not quite in the same league as The Night Manager and The Tailor of Panama though, which I read years ago and couldn't put down.
@relentless-red saidI don't think it has been translated to English, but I wouldn't recommend it anyway. Her strength is her focus, experience, knowledge of the world where the story takes place but I wouldn't say she is a very good writer.
