The Unknown Mrs Rosen

A story about a spy, a love story, and a hard look at what happens when people become old and need care. Mrs Rosen is an elderly, disabled widow who depends on help from friends and neighbours, her three grown-up children, and social services. But Mrs Rosen is also a fit and capable younger woman transferred from codebreaking at Bletchley and trained for a solo mission into wartime Germany. This defines the rest of her life, a life spent in Cold War secret intelligence, a life about which her chidren and carers know nothing.
