Book description
'There were three of you, weren't there? Three sisters, all ravishing,
they say, and all very brilliant, working for him until the end of the
war. All the people I have talked to said he was the most remarkable
man.' 'He was. We loved him, all of us.' This is the story of the
Alderbrook sisters; of their volatile relationships with their parents,
their friends and each other; of the dangers and deprivations of wartime
London; of their roles in a secret intelligence department - and of
Peter Suvarov, the dashing, mysterious Russian who recruited them. Their
involvement with him threatened the marriage of one, the reputation of
another, and the life of the third. They all loved him, but only one
could marry him . . . 'A striking novel of three women and their
evolution from innocence to worldliness' Today Daphne Wright is a
historical novelist with a special interest in the way wars have
liberated women. Born in London, she worked in publishing for ten years
before becoming a writer. After six historical novels, she turned to
crime under the pseudonym of Natasha Cooper. She now divides her time
between the city and the Somerset Levels.
