It is Marian Sutro, whose existence was last known to her British controllers in autumn 1943 in Paris. One of a handful of surviving agents of the Special Operations Executive, she has withstood arrest, interrogation, incarceration, and the horrors of Ravensbrück concentration camp, but at what cost? Returned to an England she barely knows and a postwar world she doesnt understand, Marian searches for something on which to ground the rest of her life. Family and friends surround her, but she is haunted by her experiences and by the guilt of knowing that her contribution to the war effort helped lead to the monstrosities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. When the mysterious Major Fawley, the man who hijacked her wartime mission to Paris, emerges from the shadows to draw her into the ambiguities and uncertainties of the Cold War, she sees a way to make amends for the past and at the same time to find the identity that has never been hers. 520 After surviving a concentration camp, ex-special operations agent Marian Sutro is drawn into the ambiguities of the Cold War by the man who hijacked her wartime mission to Paris, while trying to make amends for the past. 538 Requires Boundless App. 588 Description based on print version record. 648 7 1900-1999|2fast 650 0 Young women|zEngland|vFiction. 650 0 Intelligence officers|zGreat Britain|vFiction. 650 0 Special operations (Military science)|zGreat Britain |vFiction. 650 7 Intelligence officers.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00975843 650 7 Special operations (Military science)|2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01128975 650 7 Young women.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01183301 651 0 Great Britain|xHistory|y20th century|vFiction. 651 7 England.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01219920 651 7 Great Britain.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01204623 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 Historical fiction.|2gsafd 655 7 Spy stories.|2gsafd 655 7 Spy fiction.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01726748 655 7 Spy fiction.|2lcgft 655 7 Fiction.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01423787 655 7 History.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 |iElectronic reproduction of (manifestation):|aMawer, Simon.|tTightrope|dLondon : Little, Brown, 2015|w(DLC) 2015375286 776 08 |iElectronic reproduction of (manifestation):|aMawer, Simon.|tTightrope|dNew York : Other Press, [2015] |z9781590517239|w(DLC) 2015016952|w(OCoLC)908838470 856 40 |uhttps://naper.boundless.baker-taylor.com/ng/view/library /title/0016542114|zFound on Boundless
