How have I been lucky enough to come here, to be alive,
when so many others are not? I should have died... But I
am here.
1945. Surviving the brutality of a Nazi prison camp, Marta
Nederman is lucky to have escaped with her life.
Recovering from the horror, she meets Paul, an American
soldier who gives her hope of a happier future. But their
plans to meet in London are dashed when Paul's plane
crashes.
Devastated and pregnant, Marta marries Simon, a caring
British Diplomat and glimpses the joy that home and family
can bring. But her happiness is threatened when she learns
of a communist spy in British intelligence, and that the
one person who can expose the traitor is connected to her
past...
In this dramatic follow-up to the bestselling
Kommandant's Girl, Pam Jenoff writes of a
time of uneasy peace and rising paranoia, when love and
desperation could make liars of us all.
