“A thrilling story about love, loss, and what we will do to go home again. Utterly un-put-down-able.”—PopSugar
“Both a hard-earned love story and a visceral account of history. Cleeton’s writing pulsates with passion and intimacy….

“A gorgeously atmospheric homage to a country and a past that vibrates with emotion on every page. Historic events, espionage, and a Kennedy-esque romance make this novel a rich read, but the addition of a formidable heroine truly makes it unputdownable.
