Once I got about half way through, I couldn’t stop reading.
This book follows two main characters, Emma and her grandson Phil. The two of them take a trip through Europe visiting the places where she spent her life with her husband, who was a diplomat as the title suggests.
There begins the duel narrative of the book as we follow their present day trip and as we re-live Emma’s time as a diplomat wife which it turns out was full of spies, betrayal and secrets.
I found the beginning of this book slightly slow, however as the story picked up about halfway through I found I was hooked and couldn’t wait to read the rest. The duel narrative was very well writing and I had no issues switching between the different perspectives or times.
I love historical fiction and for me this really hit the mark. The story wasn’t too predictable and there were twists and turns that I definitely didn’t see coming.
I would 100% recommend this book.
