To save the man she loves, she must become everything she fears.
Yorkshire, 1936. On a small railway platform where spring cherry blossoms scent the air, widow Evie Armstrong helps her father run Levisham Station, finding purpose in the daily rhythms of railway life. Childless and having long ago given up hope of a family of her own, her heart unexpectedly stirs when she finds herself drawn to a mysterious regular she knows only as ‘the Southerner.’ But as Hitler’s shadow looms over Europe, their blossoming romance is cut short when her charming suitor Roger is arrested as a German spy.
Refusing to believe the accusations, Evie makes an extraordinary choice: she’ll go to Germany as a British spy herself, using her position as Roger’s naive wife to gather intelligence on Hitler’s plans for war. But in the beer halls of Munich and grand Bavarian estates, where every glance could expose her and every friendship could be a betrayal, Evie discovers that in a world of deception, love might be the deadliest weapon of all.
Perfect for readers of Kate Quinn, Kristin Hannah and Rhys Bowen, The Spy's Wife is an emotionally gripping story of one woman’s courage to risk everything for both her country and her heart.
