synopsis
It is 1939. Eva Delectorskaya is a beautiful 28-year-old Russian emigree living in Paris. As war breaks out she is recruited for the British Secret Service by Lucas Romer, a mysterious Englishman, and under his tutelage she learns to become the perfect spy, to mask her emotions and trust no one, including those she loves most. Since the war, Eva has carefully rebuilt her life as a typically English wife and mother. But once a spy, always a spy. Now she must complete one final assignment, and this time Eva can't do it alone: she needs her daughter's help.

Read an exerpt from this in Costa's the Finalist and decided then that I wanted to read it.

I enjoyed the two strands to the story that of Eva Delectorskaya and the life of her daughter in the present.

RELEASE NOTES:

Will take to the Meet up tomorrow and if no one takes it, will leave it on the bookshelves

I was very pleased to snaffle this from the table at today's meet-up - left there by the belly-dancing whizz who also goes by the name of doodleali!

And there are bonus red shoes on the cover!

RELEASE NOTES:

I have ended up with 2 copies of this book, so I decided to let this one go.

It was placed in the perspex leaflet holders outside the LMP Property letting offices.
