"An unforgettable story of great love torn apart by war, of heroism
and betrayal, passion and pure evil, all set against an idyllic
Greek island backdrop. It's a genuine masterpiece, a book to lose
yourself in." Gill Paul, The Secret Wife "With the historical
authenticity of Sebastian Faulks, the perfectly observed family
relationships of Santa Montefiore, and the gut-wrenching twist of
Jojo Moyes, The Officer and The Spy is epic, enthralling and deeply
emotional.' Iona Grey, Letters to the Lost * * * Under the Cretan
sun, in the summer of 1936, two young people fall in love... Eleni
has been coming to Crete her entire life, swapping her English home
for cherished sun-baked summers with her grandfather in his idyllic
shoreside villa. When she arrives in 1936, she believes the long,
hot weeks ahead will be no different to so many that have gone
before. But someone else is visiting the island that year too: a
young German man called Otto. And so begins a summer of innocence
lost, and love discovered; one that is finite, but not the end.
When, in 1941, the island falls to a Nazi invasion, Eleni and Otto
meet there once more. But this time Eleni has returned to fight for
her home, and Otto to occupy it. They are enemies, and their love
is not only treacherous, but also dangerous. But will it destroy
them, or prove strong enough to overcome the ravages of war? An
epic tale of secrets, love, loyalty, family and how far you'd go to
keep those you love safe, The Officer and The Spy is an exquisite
and deeply moving love letter to Crete - one that will move every
reader to tears. * * * "What a beautiful novel. So romantic, so
epic, so tear-jerking." Lorna Cook, The Forgotten Village "I was
completely spellbound . . . It's the best book I've read this
year." Kathleen McGurl, The Forgotten Secret
