Selected by our Editorial Experts
America, 1959. With two young children she adores, loving parents back
in London, and an admired husband, Charlie, working at the British
embassy in Washington, the world seems an effervescent place of parties,
jazz and family happiness to Mary van der Linden. But the Eisenhower
years are ending, and 1960 brings the presidential battle between two
ambitious senators: John Kennedy and Richard Nixon. But when Frank, an
American newspaper reporter, enters their lives Mary embarks on a
passionate affair, all the while knowing that in the end she must
confront an impossible decision.
Comparison: Sebastian Barry, Ken Kesey, Pat Barker
