SF Village Book Group

Monday January 23rd

1:00 PM at Kathryn McNeil's' home -- 1150 Lombard Street, #38.

The group is reading John Le Carré's Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy. About the book:

John Le Carré's internationally famous hero, British Secret Service Agent George Smiley, has a world-class problem. He has discovered a mole--a Soviet double agent who has managed to burrow his way up to the highest level of British Intelligence. Under the direction of Karla, Smiley's equivalent in the Soviet Union, the agent has already blown some of the most vital secret operations and most productive networks. Now, how can Smiley use a lifetime's worth of espionage skills to ferret out a spy who possesses them as well?

Please RSVP to the SFV Office 415-387-1375 Ext. 0 or info@sfvillage.
