ARISTOCRAT, AUTHOR, BOOKSELLER, WWII SPY--A THRILLING NOVEL ABOUT
REAL-LIFE LITERARY ICON NANCY MITFORD FROM THE NEW YORK TIMES
BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF A PARIS APARTMENT
In 1942, London, Nancy Mitford is worried about more than air raids and
German spies. Still recovering from a devastating loss, the once
sparkling Bright Young Thing is estranged from her husband, her
allowance has been cut, and she's given up her writing career. On top of
this, her five beautiful but infamous sisters continue making headlines
with their controversial politics.
Eager for distraction and desperate for income, Nancy jumps at the
chance to manage the Heywood Hill bookshop while the owner is away at
war. Between the shop's brisk business and the literary salons she hosts
for her eccentric friends, Nancy's life seems on the upswing. But when a
mysterious French officer insists that she has a story to tell, Nancy
must decide if picking up the pen again and revealing all is worth the
price she might be forced to pay.
Eighty years later, Heywood Hill is abuzz with the hunt for a lost
wartime manuscript written by Nancy Mitford. For one woman desperately
in need of a change, the search will reveal not only a new side to
Nancy, but an even more surprising link between the past and
present...
