Love and danger intermingle in the dark days of the Second World
War - a wartime romance of immense appeal. Liverpool 1942.
Seventeen-year-old Frankie Franconi falls in love with charismatic
British officer Nick Harper as quickly and certainly as the bomb
that falls on their shelter. He is impressed by her good looks and
intelligence, and the fact that, like him, she speaks fluent
Italian. When she insists on staying to help rescue others who have
been trapped he realises that she has courage, too. He gives her a
business card with a Baker Street address, and suggests she put her
skills to good use. Within a month Frankie has joined the FANYs and
started her training. Stationed first in England, then Africa and
finally Italy, Frankie and her fellow recruits work tirelessly
decoding messages from agents in the field by day, and enjoying the
wartime parties at night. But when she signs the Official Secrets
Act she has no idea of the danger, adventure and terrible choices
that are in store.
