The Cold War is at its height, and a spy may be a friend or neighbour, colleague or lover.
At the end of a suburban garden, in the pouring rain, a woman buries a briefcase deep in the earth.
She believes that she is protecting her family.
What she will learn is that no one is immune from betrayal or the devastating consequences of exposure.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Helen Dunmore has delivered an exquisite espionage story where the characters take centre stage rather than bombastic plot twists. Set in ‘60s London during the Cold War, this dazzling novel follows a seemingly unremarkable civil servant, Simon Callington, who stumbles into a nightmare after helping out an old spy friend. Soon, Simon’s purposeful wife, Lily, is battling to protect their three children as secrets from her husband’s past threaten to torpedo their—seemingly—happy life. We were dazzled by Dunmore’s stealthy pacing and cleverly subtle plotting.
