How have I been lucky enough to come here, to become alive, when thus many others aren’t? I should have got died…. But I am here.

1945. Surviving the brutality of a Nazi jail camp, Marta Nederman is definitely lucky to have escaped with her life. Dealing with the horror, she fits Paul, an American soldier who gives her hope of a happier future. But their plans to meet in London are dashed when Paul’s plane crashes.

Devastated and pregnant, Marta marries Simon, a caring Uk diplomat, and glimpses the joy that home and family can bring. But her pleasure can be threatened when she learns of the Communist spy in British intelligence, and that the one one who can expose the traitor is usually linked to her past.
