RIP David Cornwell - John le Carre

I can remember discovering and reading his books on the train to work in London as a 16 year old.

Will definitely rewatch The Night Manager of the coming weeks and any others which I guess will be aired due to his death.

RIP

MawBe - how fascinating to have your family mentioned in a book. Well, not quite mentioned but they did figure in it.

A very gifted author who will be missed.
The Night Manager is running on Amazon prime video at the moment.

Oh thank you

My favourites were the 'Smiley' books but 'The Spy who came in from the Cold' was another. MawBe what an interesting anecdote! I am sorry he has died as I felt he was an intelligent writer who treated his readers as intelligent too.

I hope they repeat the Night Manager on television.

Great author in his field. His books made excellent films too.

Love his books.
When I read The Spy Who Came in From The Cold , I came across an incident, a scene which almost exactly portrayed my FIL and the children (DH and his siblings) . Cornwell would have been considerably younger than FIL and very junior to him in “the office” but would certainly have known of him in Germany- the detail was too accurate to be mere coincidence.

Brilliant author, the very best in his genre. RIP John le Carre,

Oh, no, had not read he'd died.
