This was my introduction to the author, and I was impressed. I am not much of a historical fiction fan, but this novel might have changed my mind. I found the story interesting, and the protagonist was great, witty in introspection and in her interactions with others. As she learns about the spy game during WWII and shortly thereafter, so too, does the reader. Distinctly British in setting and place, I even liked looking up the odd phrases that turn up. We learn that the first rule of the spy game is to trust no one, and it is the motif of the entire plot line. I understand that the author has a lot of books published, and I'm going to start looking for them.
