Summary:
What happens to your life when everything you thought you knew about
your mother turns out to be an elaborate lie? During the long, hot
summer of 1976, Ruth Gilmartin discovers that her very English mother
Sally is really Eva Delectorskaya, a Russian emigree and one-time
spy. In 1939, Eva is a beautiful 28-year-old living in Paris. As war
breaks out, she is recruited for the British Secret Service by Lucas
Romer, a mysterious, patrician Englishman. Under his tutelage she
learns to become the perfect spy, to mask her emotions and trust no
one. Even those she loves most. Since then Eva has carefully rebuilt
her life - but once a spy, always a spy. And now she must complete
one final assignment. This time, though, Eva can't do it alone: she
needs her daughter's help.
