Dan asked this question about Silverview:
I found this so exasperating. I wish someone would lay out the plot very simply, so a child could understand. I know the husband is involved in anti-Israel work. I know the wife is on the other side. But does the wife know what the husband is doing all along? If so, why does she wait to turn him in? What does the daughter know, and when? I was also puzzled by the blue and white china. A detailed synopsis please!

You either persevere or you don't. This one was worth persevering with. He never writes simply but you have to pay attention and just persevere. Better to start at the beginning with his first ones-"Looking Glass War" , better still, "The Spy that Came in from the Cold". That is how I started when I was teenager and have read and re read his book a few times. The only one I do not like is, "The Naive and Sentimental Lover". But I read it anyway. (less)
