I liked this book very much and found that, the further I read, the more intrigued I became and the more I wanted to read this novel through to its conclusion. I do love how the author's introduction describes this novel as "And so, this is a true story, of real-life operatives that are wholly made-up, and actual missions that never happened." Spy stories usually don't interest me. The first chapter of this novel was kind of slow. What intrigued me most about it was that it was about an Israeli Mossad agent whose story was told through her handler. Not knowing much about espionage at all, I was interested in the professional relationship between the handler Ehud and his operative Rachel. I thought that this story was told from a very interesting perspective. The story seemed very real, but I'm not sure I can buy into a particular decision Rachel made near the end of the book. I found this story tense and thrilling and would recommend this book to those who like to read books by Israeli authors or who like to read novels about the Mossad or about espionage in general. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha
"For readers of John Le Carre and viewers of Homeland, a slow-burning psychological spy-thriller by a former brigadier general of intelligence in the Israeli army. After attending her father's funeral, former Mossad agent Rachel Goldschmitt empties her bank account and disappears. But when she makes a cryptic phone call to her former handler, Ehud, the Mossad sends him to track her down. Finding no leads, he must retrace her career as a spy to figure out why she abandoned Mossad before she can do any damage to Israel. But he soon discovers that after living under cover for so long, an agent's assumed identity and her real one can blur, catching loyalty, love, and truth between them. In the midst of a high-risk, high-stakes investigation, Ehud begins to question whether he ever knew his agent at all. In The English Teacher, Yiftach R. Atir drew on his own experience in intelligence to weave a psychologically nuanced thriller that explores the pressures of living under an assumed identity for months at a time".-- Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |

Fifteen years later, long retired from duty, she calls Ehud a week after her father dies and leaves a message that causes the Mossad to go to great efforts to find her. What she’s doing is returning to the country to find Rashid, trying to recapture the last time she felt loved and needed.
A tragic story and a study of the great sacrifices made by the deep cover agent. ( )
