For readers of John Le Carré 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.
That is the starting point of this great spy novel.
In The English Teacher, Yiftach R. Atir drew on his own experience in intelligence to weave a psychologically nuanced thriller. The novel explores the pressures of living under an assumed identity for months at a time.
