The Little Drummer Girl is a version of Lust, Caution set against the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Martin Kurtz, head of Israeli intelligence, recruits Charlie, a radical left-wing British actress, to assassinate Khalil, a Palestinian terrorist leader who has long carried out bombings across Europe targeting Jews. After a series of preparations, Charlie finally infiltrates the Palestinian terrorist organization...
Torn between two peoples, Charlie's conscience and morals waver as she lives through a fictitious romance and a fabricated past. Her deeply rooted moral principles have been ripped to shreds. Which side is truly in the right? And what choice can a fragile, love-hungry double agent make?
The plot of this book is very compact, making me feel like I am in a thrilling spy game. The character of Charlie impressed me deeply. She struggled in the whirlpool of morality and emotion, which made me feel her inner conflict. This book also made me think more deeply about the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. The boundaries between justice and morality have become blurred during the war, which made me deeply moved. All in all, this is a good book worth reading.
