Description:

"The time is the early 1940s, as World War II is underway. The place is rural England, in a sleepy village called Marsham Priory. Eve Trelawney feels trapped, stifled in her quiet life with her husband David, the local doctor. He enjoys his work at the cottage hospital and times spent gardening at home. But Eve craves excitement. A woman with a past, she has been an undercover agent in the Great War and suddenly has an opportunity to return to her former career with British Intelligence. She ignores her husband's warnings, and soon finds herself embroiled in a world in which things are seldom what they seem. Eve has become shrewder and more addicted to danger. Playing now for even higher stakes, she faces not only the new challenges of a different war, but also the shock of unfinished business from her early life. This story of a woman who proves equal to her risky job in a man's world is not only a vivid recreation of the war years in England, it is surprisingly relevant for today's world where women must often navigate the demands of career at the same time as battling the forces of passion within."
