GoodReads Synopsis:
Volume One in the Flying with the
Swallows duology
New York City, 1943: War widow and Best Society’s darling
Mrs. Evelyn (Evie) Rousseau Somerset is five months into mourning her
husband’s death when her family insists on an untenable plan for her future.
Desolate and disenchanted with life, she’s determined to remake herself and
prove she’s something more than a useless socialite—regardless of what her
senator brother and domineering mother demand of her.
A previous clandestine job at a newspaper provides the
escape she’s looking for: a trip to Lisbon, the spy capital of the world, to
rescue a family of German Jews stranded in neutral Portugal. While crossing the
Atlantic to Lisbon, she meets handsome and enigmatic Carl Wilson, the
cocksure, ill-mannered American musician with an agenda and secrets of his own.
Armed only with sophistication and moxie, Evelyn
reluctantly welcomes Carl’s invitation to a new world—one that ultimately lands
her as a secret agent for His Majesty’s government.
