Publisher Description
In the morning of Tuesday November 10, 1942, near a small village in SW France, the scheduled pickup for a Special Operations Executive agent goes terribly wrong. Alex and Justine, agents - with a life expectancy measured in weeks - find themselves entangled in a desperate project they never fully understand. They are also lovers.
A Time to Tell Lies continues the story begun in the author’s novel Lucy, shifting between a fearful wartime London, nervously awaiting its inevitable invasion, and a fatally compromised France. Uncertain who to trust and trained to lie to their wartime masters and to the enemy, Alex and Justine must contemplate lying to each other.
“ … resonant and intriguing; it draws you in to see what's going to happen with this unlikely pair of spies ... compares favourably with the works of John le Carré and Kate Atkinson.” The Bookbag
